(OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2024-2033 has been published) The #OECD-#FAO #Agricultural #Outlook 2024-2033 provides a consensus assessment of the ten-year prospects for #agricultural commodity and #fish markets. This Outlook edition reveals important trends. #Emerging #economies will be pivotal in shaping the global agricultural landscape, with India expected to overtake China as the leading player. Yet #calorie #intake growth in low-income countries is projected to be only 4%. Agriculture's global #greenhouse #gas intensity is projected to decline, although direct emissions from agriculture will likely increase by 5%. If #food #loss and #waste could be halved, however, this would have the potential to reduce both global agricultural GHG emissions by 4% and the number of undernourished people by 153 million by 2030. Well-functioning international #agricultural #commodity markets will remain vital for global food security and rural livelihoods. Expected developments should keep real international reference prices on a slightly declining trend over the next ten years, although environmental, social, geopolitical, and economic factors could significantly alter these projections.

Navigating Agricultural Markets in 2024: A Strategic Outlook As we progress through 2024, the agricultural sector faces a multifaceted landscape shaped by economic shifts, environmental challenges, and global political dynamics. While net farm income in the U.S. has softened after several years of record highs, the sector remains resilient, highlighting the need for strategic risk management as commodity prices stabilize. Weather patterns continue to play a critical role, with mixed outcomes across the U.S.—drought in some regions and favorable conditions in others—affecting crop yields and influencing global markets. Meanwhile, South Africa’s agricultural prospects are buoyed by positive planting predictions, though political and economic uncertainties introduce significant volatility. On the political front, regulatory changes in the U.S. focused on farmworker protections reflect a growing emphasis on sustainability and safety, despite facing opposition. Similarly, South Africa’s ongoing efforts to stabilize its economy and address political challenges are crucial for the sector’s growth. As we navigate these complexities, staying informed and adopting a proactive, strategic approach will be key to capitalizing on opportunities and mitigating risks in this dynamic market environment. #Agriculture #MarketTrends #RiskManagement #GlobalTrade #Sustainability #EconomicOutlook
