This is the 13th edition of the Agricultural Outlook and the third time it has been prepared jointly by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO). Based on the commodity, policy and country expertise of both organisations, this report forecasts market trends for the world’s main agricultural products for the period 2007 to 2016 and includes an evaluation of recent developments and emerging issues.
The market projections cover 39 countries and 19 regions, OECD members as well as key non-OECD agricultural producers — such as India, China, Brazil, Russia and Argentina. The projections are based on specific assumptions regarding global macroeconomic conditions, population growth, national agricultural and trade policies, production technologies and average weather conditions. Using the underlying assumptions, the Agricultural Outlook then provides a picture of how agricultural markets could evolve in the coming decade.
