The focus has been  on the agricultural sector, including small-scale commodity producers - areas that typically lie at the  heart of development concerns in emerging markets. The aim has been to identify, analyse and assess  the impacts made by commodity exchanges in developing countries on economic growth,  development, and poverty reduction, with a particular focus on the agricultural sector and farmers--P. 1.
