PRESENTATION OF FAO'S STATE OF AGRICULTURAL COMMODITY MARKETS REPORT: Achieving a better balance between national priorities and the collective good

News conference: Wednesday, 11:00, December 9, Rome, Italy

On Wednesday, 9 December, FAO will release its report on the State of Agricultural Commodity Markets (SOCO), which analyzes and offers advice on global food trade patterns and how they can best be governed.

A news conference will be held at 11:00, Rome time, in the Sheikh Zayed Center at FAO's headquarters.

FAO Deputy Director-General Daniel Gustafson will introduce the report along with World Trade Organization Deputy Director-General Xiaozhun Yi.

What impact will the expected increase in global commerce in farm products have on food security?
Do emerging patterns, such as the growing importance of South-South trade, change the terms of international trade and require new rules?
Is the issue of free trade versus protection really as simple as often depicted, or are associated policies reflections of underlying levels of development, including access to credit, markets and risk-management tools?
The SOCO report explores those questions and offers pragmatic approaches to trade governance, allowing better integration of food security and other development objectives into national policies while at the same time ensuring that trading partners are not detrimentally affected.

The news conference  will be webcast live at http://www.fao.org/webcast

The report will be available online from 11:00 at http://www.fao.org/publications/soco/en/
