Between 2000 and 2024, food and agricultural trade surged fivefold, with low- and middle-income countries increasingly integrated into global markets. However, these markets are vulnerable to shocks such as extreme weather, conflicts, and financial crises. The 2026 edition of The State of Agricultural Commodity Markets explores the impact of these disruptions on trade and global food security.
The report emphasizes the necessity for trade policies that acknowledge the interdependence of agrifood systems, enhance resilience, and mitigate the adverse effects of shocks on food markets.

Cocoa farmers in Côte d'Ivoire are enhancing their resilience to climate change and restoring degraded land through agroforestry. Sylvie Sopie N'Gbesso has doubled her cocoa production in two years, while Nicole Kambou is promoting sustainable farming via a cooperative that provides essential resources.
This initiative is supported by two FAO programs: PROMIRE, funded by the Green Climate Fund, which encourages zero-deforestation cocoa agroforestry, and SCOLUR-CI, backed by the Global Environment Facility, which fosters cooperative models for sustainable cocoa production and biodiversity conservation. Together, these efforts help farmers protect forests and secure their livelihoods.
In Uganda's Rwenzori region, communities in Ntoroko, Bundibugyo, and Kasese are better prepared for drought and climate shocks following severe flooding in early 2024. With support from the Federal Government of Germany, FAO's anticipatory action approach provides early warning information, enabling timely decision-making and enhancing resilience through access to water and cash assistance.
This initiative empowers families to act early, safeguard their livelihoods, and mitigate the impacts of drought before they escalate.
