| Tiivistelmä: | Africa's main export commodities, cocoa, coffee, tea, sugar and cotton, face a testing time on the international markets. Over-supply and a build-up of stocks from previous years have driven prices down, says the author. The futures markets for leading tropical produce, such as cocoa, coffee and sugar , does not offer much profit for producers. Prices of softs are being pressured by excess stockpile and subdued demand in major importing countries. Experts say prices should remain historically low this year. |
