Oilcrops market network

The Oilcrops Market Network (OMN) is administered by the Trade and Markets Division of FAO. The purpose of this electronic service is to provide an informal forum for the discussion, among subscribers, of issues relevant to the national and international markets for oilcrops, oils&fats and oilcakes&meals. Users are requested to enhance the scope of the service by supplying information on current market developments, including on technical and economic factors having an impact on production, consumption, trade, stocks and prices.

The network is open, free of charge, to all the persons or firms that want to subscribe. Registered users are invited to supply articles, publications and statistical reports on the oilcrops sector in their respective countries/regions. They are also encouraged to post questions and answers on topics of interest related to oilcrops. Contributions are welcome in either English, French or Spanish. FAO will periodically contribute its market reports on oilcrops to this network and act as a moderator, receiving and forwarding participants' messages.

In summary, the two objectives of this service are
a)   the direct exchange of information on oilcrops markets between List members via the FAO mail server;
b)   the circulation of FAO's reports dealing with current developments in the world market for oilcrops.
