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. For further information about this publication, please contact the Special Unit on Commodities (SUC), UNCTAD, Palais des Nations, CH-1211 Genève 10, Switzerland, telephone +41 22 917 5676 e-mail: commodities@unctad.org. STATISTICAL DATA SOURCES 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. NOTES In this publication, each graph displays both prices or price indices in constant and current terms. Prices and price indices are presented with an orange line when expressed in constant terms and using a green line when in current terms. In this document, the term “primary commodities” refers to the following SITC group: 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 667 + 68 + 971. The “Net Food Importing Countries” group refers to the group as defined by the World Trade Organization (WTO).
