    The State of Agricultural Commodity Markets (SOCO) 2006 2007
    The State of Agricultural Commodity Markets 2006 is the second issue of this FAO publication. It focuses on the question of why the development and food security needs of developing countries need to be better reflected in the design and implementation of new agreements on further liberalization of international agricultural markets, and on the mechanisms under discussion to achieve this.

The stalling of the Doha Round in July 2006 provided an opportunity to revisit the issues of how future reductions in import tariffs on agricultural products will affect different developing countries, whether there might be any negative repercus sions of further liberalization and, if so, how these might be addressed in the formulation of new trade rules.
