What this Radar is
The World Chocolate Buyers Radar names every company that bought chocolate in 2026 from Ecuador, Peru, Mexico and Colombia, as recorded by their export customs: 1,046 buyers in 90 countries, 17,359 shipments and 486 suppliers. Each buyer appears once, even when customs records write its name in several ways or ship to several of its subsidiaries. Cocoa liquor, nibs, butter and unsweetened powder declared under the chocolate heading were taken out, so the list counts chocolate buyers.
Every buyer, verified and profiled
The 50 largest buyers get one page each:
- Value, tonnes, average price a kilo and shipments in 2026, with its rank among the 1,046 buyers
- The forms its shipments declare, such as bars, bonbons, coated snacks, bulk couverture, spreads or drinking chocolate, and dark, milk, white or organic
- Its top 5 suppliers with their share, and the exporting countries it bought from
- Purchases month by month, and the other cocoa products it also buys
The other 996 buyers are listed after the profiles with their country, value, volume, price a kilo, main origin and main supplier. Amounts are the minimum each buyer bought: they count only the shipments that customs records declare under its name.
Priced by the kilo, the way the trade quotes it
Eight in ten of the 17,359 shipments sold between $2.26 and $29.43 a kilo, at a median of $7.23. Each profile gives the average price that buyer paid, so you can see who buys sweetened cocoa mixes at the bottom of the range and who pays for organic bars and bonbons at the top.
Two formats, one purchase
The PDF holds the market overview by buyer country, the index of the profiled buyers, their profiles and the full list of the rest.
The Excel lists the 27,726 shipments of 2026 exported by Ecuador, Peru, Mexico and Colombia, one per row, in a single sheet: date, exporting country, exporter, buyer, kilos, value, price, destination, the product classification read from the commercial description, and the description itself. A column marks the shipments the Radar counts.
