Expanding production of biofuels based on agricultural commodities will make agricultural markets much more dependent on developments in global energy markets. A specific “human-induced” threat to market stability is that of uncoordinated national policy responses to increasing food prices. Because such measures are based exclusively on concerns about domestic food security, with little regard for their effects on trading partners, they may exacerbate international market volatility and jeopardize global food security. Given the importance of international food commodity markets for global food security and hunger-reduction efforts, there is a need to address issues of governance on global agricultural markets with a view to confronting the problem of price volatility and avoiding counter-productive “beggarthy-neighbour” policy responses. Necessary steps would include improved regulation of markets, greater market transparency, improved and timely statistics on food commodity markets, establishment of an appropriate level of emergency stocks and provision of adequate and appropriate safety nets. The recent food and financial crises, the uncoordinated policy responses and continuing fears over global foodmarket turmoil have underscored the urgent need for action by the international community.
