FOOD AND FIBER TRADING
The futures trading of "food and fibre" includes - Sugar, Coffee, Cocoa, Cotton and Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice (FCOJ). As well as world wide demands by consumers, these commodities are affected by cultivation factors such as drought, infestation & disease. The most sensitive of these commodities is FCOJ, which is particularly susceptible to frost & freezing temperatures. A sudden drop in temperature or frost can destroy crops and cause a long term reduction in output. Other factors that can influence the price & production of Food & Fibre are political instability, tariffs, climate change & exchange rates.
