Foreword

The Market and Policy Analyses of Raw Materials, Horticulture and Tropical Products Team (RAMHOT) provides economic data and analyses on major agricultural raw materials and horticultural and tropical products. Commodities covered under the Team include, bananas and tropical fruits, citrus fruits, cotton, hard fibres (abaca, coir and sisal), hides and skins, jute, kenaf and allied fibres, sugar, and tea.

The Team also undertakes market reviews, outlook appraisals and projections, and provides assistance to developing countries in designing and implementing national policies for those agricultural commodities which enter into international trade.

The tables contained in this document bring together governments’ replies to the Group’s latest questionnaires, supplemented by other data available to the Secretariat at 31 December 2015.
