ABSTRACT: 

This report presents data on selected agricultural commodities for the first quarter of 2010 (October through December), with summaries of the entire year where available. It provides a summary of recent changes and price trends, demand, supply, and market conditions for key agricultural commodities. We find that many changes in commodity prices over the course of the first quarter of 2010 were in response to revised supply estimates for the 2009/2010 agricultural season. Prices of staple food cereals in the first quarter of 2010 remained above their pre-crisis lows of early 2008, but we observed a downward trend in most prices from the high crisis prices of 2008.
