Headline World Trade in Commodities: Search for Stability

Caption Description Many developing countries earn practically all their income from the trade of such commodities as cocoa, coffee, sugar, tea, cotton, jute, hard fibers, rubber, copper, and tin. They are consequently very vulnerable to trade fluctuations. The United Nations believes that international buffer stocks or reserve supplies of those ten commodities would help stabilize their prices. Negotiations are under way to establish a Common Fund from which to finance such reserves.
