The Food and Agriculture Association of the United Nations released the Commodity Market Review, 1999-2000. This 108-page report "highlights and analyses world market developments affecting agricultural, fishery and forestry products in general and provides specific reviews for all principal primary agricultural commodities," with special emphasis on events that affect the developing countries's trading. The report also displays tables of the January 2000 data for a wide collection of commodities. The study of this year's data shows continued, widespread decline in commodity prices, which also contributed to lower agricultural export earnings in 1998 as well as 1999. Following a brief introduction to the report, this site presents the review's table of contents, and links to an executive summary, as well as the full report. The Commodity Market Reviews for 1997 through 1999 are also available for download.
