Build a one-page commodity brief
Pick up to five commodities and, if you want it, a country that buys them. The brief shows for each one who produces and exports it, how concentrated supply is, where the benchmark price stands against its own history, how volatile it is and whether it has a season, and, for the country you choose, how much it imports, from whom, and how much of its supply is imported. It is built in your browser from the same published data as the rest of the site and can be printed or saved as a PDF; nothing you pick is sent anywhere.
Sources named in the brief: FAOSTAT, USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries, Energy Institute Statistical Review, CEPII BACI and FAO Food Balance Sheets for quantities and trade; World Bank Pink Sheet and IMF for prices. Prices are monthly averages that lag the market; this is information, not investment, legal or trade advice. The country section covers import markets of $250 million or more and the commodities FAO's food balance sheets track.
