These markets facilitate the buying and selling of agricultural goods, such as grains, oilseeds, livestock, dairy products, fruits, and vegetables, in standardized quantities and grades. Agricultural commodity markets are essential for ensuring efficient price discovery, risk management, and the flow of goods from producers to consumers and industrial users.

Price Discovery
