NEW YORK, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Cocoa processing in North America rose in the third quarter of 2025 to 112,784 metric tons, up 3.22% from the same period a year earlier, according to data from the National Confectioners Association released on Thursday. Cocoa grind data is a key demand indicator for the market of the chocolate-making commodity. NCA said 16 plants in North America reported data on cocoa processing for the third quarter report, two more than a year ago.
