Veloute is drizzled, sea herbs scattered, ‘choose-your-weapon’ handmade knives proffered. It’s a story told in the pop-up beech tree that arrives with it, as intricately assembled as the food which is tweezered and layered and daubed with all the lip-biting concentration of a game of Operation. Small plates come bearing whimsical names such as Conquering the Beech Tree, a dish that Aikens has evolved over the years and now appears as flame-grilled langoustine tail with pork fat and tiny cubes of singed apple, the name referring to a childhood challenge that he feels sums up his risk-taking culinary approach. But for his return to London fine dining he digs deep into his personal archive, bringing recipes, producers, ingredients and nostalgia to a discreet, upstairs-downstairs des res seating just 26, tucked down a Belgravia mews (hence the play-on-words name). There is a clear manifestation of the descending Elliott waves and the formation of a bullish flag, which will lead to a breakthrough of the upper line at about 2580 on the New York Stock Exchange and the subsequent growth is likely to prices of 2800-2900 dollars a ton, which in the London market is equivalent to about 1900-2050 pounds per ton of goods.Tom Aikens has a fair few tales to tell from an eventful career that’s taken him from stints with Koffmann and Robuchon to being the youngest British chef to win two Michelin stars, aged 26, while at Pied à Terre, followed by private cheffing for Andrew Lloyd Webber, among others, and an eponymous Chelsea restaurant – not without ruffling a few feathers along the way. We are seeing, of course, a couple of days later, a strong rebound in prices from the intersection of support lines. The table above shows the number of open positions as of 24.05 The number of closed positions has reached 14,000 lots.įor the first time in quite a long time, we have a negative position, that is, more people bet on falling prices than on rising prices. Regarding the positions of hedge funds, we saw in the last week of May one of the strongest outflows from long positions (responsible for price growth), for a long history of observations. Since globally we see an increase in processing for the first quarter. In Ivory Coast, from the beginning of the season to 31.05, the export of cocoa products amounted to minus 0.3% of last year data, thus it can be concluded that production in other countries works better. Since, if suddenly this risk factor is justified, the factory will need much more funds for the purchase of cocoa beans and products. Now let’s have a look at coffee, where a similar story happened due to frosts a year ago, which led to a price increase of 100%, we draw conclusions and take this risk factor into account when forming the average purchase price of the factory for 2023. If this happens globally, and we sadly consider Africa to be a third world, where ordinary farmers do not have fertilizers in stock for the year ahead, or money to buy fertilizers which are getting more expensive, then the yield of the next season will be up to 10-20% lower. Without fertilizers, the cocoa tree yields up to 20-30% less yield. Our opinion was described in previous reports where a potential shortage of fertilizers was mentioned, and this is a very important factor for cocoa trees. Maybe, in the fall of 2022 and in the winter 2023 it is quite possible. But still, it seems to us that this is an exaggerated fact, since if a crisis in the fertilizer world happens, it can in no way affect the production in African countries in the spring of 2022. Similarly, ambiguous data come from Nigeria, on rumors of a shortage of fertilizers, April exports fell by 61% year-on-year. I think that many of you have recently encountered this problem, we declare a problem – cocoa beans have become more difficult to buy. Usually, 4 months is a kind of limit, if it falls below this figure, it means that there is a shortage of cocoa in the world. At the moment, the stocks of cocoa beans in certified warehouses will remain at the end of the season in the amount of 1,754,000 tons, which means – for a little more than 4 months of consumption. Normally, production prevails over consumption. In this graph, we can see that processing has overtaken the production of cocoa beans, this is not the most frequent scenario. The main forecast is a shortage of cocoa beans in the world by an average of 4% year-on-year. The average (summer) harvest continues around the world, which will end on September 30.
