Published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2009. This is an annual publication. The 2009 edition was released August 2009. Description: |
| This 15th edition of the annual Agricultural Outlook
– prepared jointly with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the
United Nations (FAO) – covers the outlook for commodity markets during the
2009 to 2018 period, and brings together the commodity, policy and country
expertise of both Organizations. The report analyzes world market trends for
the main agricultural products, as well as biofuels. It provides an assessment
of agricultural market prospects for production, consumption, trade, stocks and
prices of the included commodities. OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2009-2018 was prepared in a period of unprecedented financial market turmoil and rapidly deteriorating global economic prospects. Because macroeconomic conditions are changing so quickly, this report complements the standard baseline projections with an analysis of revised short-term GDP prospects and alternative GDP recovery paths. Lower GDP scenarios result in lower commodity prices, with reductions in crop and biofuel prices about one-half those for livestock products. A sensitivity analysis to highly uncertain crude oil prices shows the important links between energy and agricultural prices. The Outlook also reports on a survey of various actors in the agri-food chain in terms of the current impacts of the global economic crisis and credit market constraints. Food security and the capacity of the agricultural sector to meet the rising demand for food remains very high on the international political agenda. This report provides a brief overview of critical factors such as land availability, productivity gains, water usage and climate change, and suggests that agricultural production could be significantly increased, provided there is sufficient investment in research, infrastructure and technological change, particularly in developing countries. In addition to OECD Member countries including Canada, the market projections in the report cover a large number of other countries and regions including the agricultural giants of India, China, Brazil and Russia as well as Argentina, South Africa and several least developed countries. In total, the projections encompass 39 countries and 19 regions. The OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook is essential reading for all those involved with agricultural markets. It shows how these are influenced by government policies and highlights some of the risks and uncertainties that may influence the agricultural outlook. Tables provide detailed commodity projections for production, consumption, trade, stocks and prices in OECD countries including Canada, and selected information on other countries. Editions previous to 2005 were titled OECD Agricultural Outlook |
