The 72nd Session of the Committee on Commodity Problems (CCP) will discuss the state of world markets, through the assessment of short-term forecasts for major commodities and a mid-term outlook on emerging trends.

Committee on Commodity Problems (CCP)
Established in 1949, the CCP – FAO’s oldest technical committee - tracks agricultural commodity markets. It deliberates key issues, debates the effects on food security, and makes policy recommendations. Equally important to the CCP, are the Subsidiary Intergovernmental Groups which focus on trade issues for key commodities.
