Rebels in the Ivory Coast signed a deal yesterday [Thursday] to end the latest uprising, which has resulted in cocoa prices reaching their highest value for 17 years.


It is hoped that the truce will also bring an end to the high cocoa prices, which have soared since fighting broke out about a month ago.


The Ivory Coast produces 40% of the world’s cocoa, reported Agence France-Presse.
