Commodity Market Review 2005-2006

The biennial publication Commodity Market Review (CMR) analyses important agricultural commodity market developments likely to have significant implications for FAO member countries, both developed and developing. This issue of the Review addresses particularly one of the problem areas in the current Doha Round of trade negotiations, the special treatment sought by some countries for the so-called sensitive and special agricultural products. It includes articles which deal with cross-commodity issues, such as criteria for special products and appropriate rules for special safeguards, and with particularities of individual commodities, such as rice, sugar, dairy and others that are regarded as sensitive or special for particular countries.
