Abstract
Effectively marketing commodities, understanding market and price dynamics, and managing price risks have become more complex in food markets that are increasingly global, interdependent, computerized, and geopolitically-influenced. Simultaneously, these aspects of agricultural supply chains are critical to the economic sustainability of producers and agribusinesses. As such, there remains continued interest from academia and industry researchers to develop tools and analysis for better understanding the constantly evolving dynamics of commodity markets. There is also continued demand from producers, agribusiness managers, consumers, government agencies, and others who seek to implement these tools for private and public benefit.
