Movements in agricultural commodity and food prices are indicators of changes in the fundamentals of supply and demand. As such, their levels are indicative of market imbalances that, for example, can portend to worsening food security. The timely monitoring of prices is also important for assessing the functioning and efficiency of international and national markets. Transparent and timely market information is a basis for evidence-based decision making and food security strategies.

Commodity Market Review 2003-2004

01/12/1999

The present issue of the Commodity Market Review (CMR) marks a significant departure from past issues of the same named FAO publication. In the past the main focus of the CMR was a review of developments in agricultural commodity markets, a description of the current situation, and a short term outlook for these commodities. The CMR 2001-2002 departed somewhat from this format, by including some short analytical articles, that tried to explain in more detail the factors that shape commodity mark et developments. In the past few years, the situation and outlook of food and agricultural commodities is being presented on the Commodities and Trade Division Web pages of the FAO Web site at www.fao.org (under “Departments” ES, Commodities and Trade Division) or directly at www.fao.org/ES/esc. This form of information provides greater scope for timely dissemination of detailed market information and more frequent updating than what is possible with conventional printed publications. The Web pages have undergone redesign that has made them more accessible and more user friendly. It is thus unnecessary to repeat the same information in printed form.

Review of basic food policies 2002

01/12/1999

The policy information contained in the report is taken from country responses to FAO questionnaires and from publicly available sources.
