Moreover, as commodity dependence tends to negatively affect poverty alleviation and food security, a set of indicators is included to help monitor trends in this area in developing countries. For each individual country, 2009/10 is used as the reference period. Graphs and diagrams are presented at the beginning of each regional chapter in order to highlight the position of individual countries within their respective regions.", }
