Commodity Agreement
Commodity Agreement and the GATT Policy Negotiations
In relation to the GATT Policy Negotiations, Christopher Mark (1993) provided the following explanation and/or definition of Commodity Agreement: A formal international arrangement among exporters and importers of a commodity. Such agreements have often been advocated by commodity exporting countries for the purpose of stabilizing price fluctuations, but few arrangements have been successful in doing so. The United States currently participates in commodity agreements covering coffee, wheat, jute, rubber, lead and zinc, tropical timber, copper, and cotton; of these, only the International Natural Rubber Agreement currently contains economic stabilization measures. See international commodity organization; see also buffer stocks and export quota agreement.
