COMMODITIES AT A GLANCE
March 2011
INTRODUCTION
This “Commodities at a Glance” has been prepared by the Special Unit on Commodities (SUC) of
UNCTAD. This quarterly publication aims to collect, present and disseminate accurate and relevant
statistical information linked to international primary commodity markets in a clear and concise
format. The first edition of “Commodities at a Glance” aims to give an overview of the following
issues:
(a) Historical and recent trends in primary commodity prices and price indices both in
nominal and real terms;
(b) The distribution of primary commodity production among the main producing countries
for a set of selected primary commodities; and
(c) An overview of primary commodity import and export dependence in developing
countries.

STATISTICAL DATA SOURCES
ƒ
Statistical data sources for this publication are:
(a) UNCTAD, UNCTADstat (for all primary commodity prices, except iron ore, as well as all
data involving primary commodity trade statistics and GDP for their computation);
(b) IMF, International Financial Statistics (for iron ore prices);
(c) UNSD (for the deflator used in all current/constant computations); and
(d) For all computations regarding production as well as stock-to-use ratio, the source is
indicated below each specific graph.

Data on constant prices are available until September 2010 (included) as the United Nations
deflator used in these computations is not available after this date.

Prices and price indices are presented with an orange line when expressed in constant terms
and using a green line when in current terms.
