Abstract:

This Brief looks at recent factors driving price developments in agricultural markets over the long term. Changes to the fundamentals of agricultural markets have contributed to upward pressure on prices and rising volatility but they do not give the full picture. Factors outside of agriculture including the increasing linkage with energy markets and the co-movement across commodity markets also strongly influence the volatility observed in agricultural markets.
