Africa Cocoa Exchange (AfCX) Feasibility Study Summary

Overview

The feasibility study analyzes eight African commodity exchanges: ACE (Malawi), AFEX (Nigeria), ECX (Ethiopia), GCX (Ghana), JSE (South Africa), LCFE (Nigeria), NCX (Nigeria), TMX (Tanzania). These exchanges represent diverse experiences across West, East, and Southern Africa.
Lessons from these exchanges provide valuable insights into establishing and scaling an African Cocoa Exchange (AfCX).
