International Commodity Agreements

D. John Shaw

Chapter 7 in World Food Security, 2007, pp 65-76 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The 1930s and the post-war years saw intensive activity in negotiations for international commodity agreements in food and other commodities – wheat, sugar, coffee, cocoa, tea, olive oil, tin, copper, rubber (Goodwin and Mayall, 1979; Gordon-Ashworth, 1984). The US government played an active, often leading, part in these negotiations, which showed the scope and limitations of international commodity agreements as instruments for promoting economic stability and growth as well as world food security, particularly from the viewpoint of the developing countries (Blau, 1963).
