THE STATE OF COMMODITY DEPENDENCE 2019

IntroductionA country is considered to be export-commodity-dependent when more than 60 per cent of its total merchandise exports are composed of commodities. given that commodity dependence can have a negative impact on a country’s economic development, it is extremely important to monitor the evolution of such dependence in countries throughout the world. In particular, detailed statistics on commodity dependence provide an invaluable tool for a comprehensive analysis of its causes and consequences, and contribute significantly to the policy debate about measures necessary to address it in the short and long terms.
The UNCTAD report titled State of Commodity Dependence is published every two years. This 2019 issue contains statistical profiles for 189 countries comprising 30 indicators aimed at describing the extent of each country’s export and import commodity dependence, as well as key structural and socioeconomic variables that are related to the commodity dependence phenomenon, such as growth of gross domestic product (gDP) and per capita gDP levels, the Human Development Index, value added by sector of the economy and institutional quality index, among others.
In order to expand the knowledge about commodity dependence, some changes have been made since the 2016 edition of the report. For example, statistical profiles for individual developed countries and economies in transition have been added to those for individual developing countries. Also, the key socioeconomic and structural indicators in each country profile have been revised, and an additional historical reference point (the year 1995, when UNCTADStat started to disaggregate trade data) has been included for each monitored variable.
Further, an analytical chapter has been included in this 2019 issue of the State of Commodity Dependence to complement the rich statistical section. The following are its key elements:
• Characterizes and quantifies the state of commodity dependence around the world.
• Presents the evolution of world commodity dependence over the past 20 years and provides examples of how exports of countries with different economic structures and commodity dependence have evolved during this period.
• Examines how economic growth and external debt deteriorated in many CDDCs following the drop in commodity prices from their peak values.
• Explores the relationship between the level of development (measured in terms of gDP per capita), and export concentration, in countries with different compositions of their export basket.
The topics covered in the analytical chapter of the State of Commodity Dependence 2019 are elaborated in more detail in a background paper entitled “Commodity Dependence: A Twenty-Year Perspective” (UNCTAD/DITC/COM/2019/2).

Two out of five commodity-dependent countries are located in sub-Saharan Africa
Nine out of ten sub-Saharan African countries are commodity-dependent • By region, 89 per cent of sub-Saharan African countries are commodity-dependent, compared to two thirds of
the countries in the Middle East and North Africa, half of the countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, and half of the countries in East Asia and the Pacific. On the other hand, only a quarter of countries in South Asia and in Europe and the Central Asia region are considered commodity-dependent, while there are no commodity-dependent countries in North America.

Commodity dependence is almost exclusively a developing-country phenomenon
• Only 13 per cent of developed countries are commodity-dependent, compared with almost two thirds (64 per cent) of developing and transition economies.
• Commodity dependence is particularly concentrated in the least developed and most vulnerable country groups, as follows: 85 per cent of least developed countries (LDCs),1 81 per cent of landlocked developing countries (LLDCs), and 57 per cent of small island developing States (SIDS).
• Using the World Bank country classification by income groups, 91 per cent of low-income countries are dependent on their commodity exports, compared with less than one third of high-income countries.
1 UNCTADStat has no trade data for South Sudan.

The number of commodity-dependent countries has increased over the past 20 years
• The number of commodity-dependent countries increased from 92 in 1998–2002 to 1022 in 2013–2017, but the number of countries dependent on the export of agricultural products declined from 50 to 37 between these two periods, while the number of mineral-dependent countries steadily rose, from 14 to 33, and the number of energy-dependent countries increased from 28 to 32.
The dominant export product group changed in only 25 per cent of countries
• During the period 1998–2017, the dominant export product groups (agriculture, minerals, energy, or non-commodities) of 142 countries out of the 189 in the sample (75 per cent) remained unchanged.
2 Data on trade started to be reported separately for Indonesia and Timor-Leste from 2012 and for Serbia and Montenegro from 2008.

Changes in commodity prices partly explain the evolution of commodity dependence by product group
• Between 1998–2002 and 2008–2012, commodity prices increased substantially, but fell in 2013–2017, although they remained significantly higher than the prices registered in 1998–2002 or even in 2003–2007. But price increases varied by commodity group: the prices of energy and minerals increased much more than those of agricultural and manufactured goods.
• Therefore, relative price changes among these different commodity groups and relative to the price of manufactures contributed to changes in the dominant product groups exported. For example, during the period 2008–2012 when energy prices peaked, non-commodity-exporting countries with a sizeable energy sector, such as Egypt and Indonesia, became temporarily energy-export-dependent. Similarly, some countries switched from being dependent on agricultural exports in 1998–2002 to energy or mineral-dependent (e.g. Plurinational State of Bolivia and Mozambique) in 2008-2012 as energy and mineral prices soared.

Commodity price busts can hurt CDDCs’ growth…
• Commodity-dependent developing countries are vulnerable to negative commodity price shocks and commodity price volatility.
• As shown in figure 10, the average commodity price levels in the period 2013–2017 were substantially below their peak of the 2008–2010 period. For example, energy prices fell by 23.5 per cent, mineral prices by 13.7 per cent and agricultural prices by 12.8 per cent.
• The negative terms-of-trade shock, together with other factors, both external and domestic, contributed to an economic slowdown in 64 commodity-dependent countries,3 with several of them registering a recession in 2013–2017.
3 Only one out the 64 countries is a developed country (i.e. Australia). Also, 27 non-commodity-dependent countries experienced a deceleration of growth, and 4 of those (i.e. Bahamas, Belarus, Dominica and Ukraine) experienced recessions during the period.

…and their fiscal positions
• As their economies slowed down, many commodity-dependent developing countries’ fiscal situation deteriorated, resulting in the accumulation of public debt, often in the form of an increase in external debt. Indeed, the external debt of 17 commodity-dependent developing countries increased by more than 25 per cent of GDP between 2008 and 2017 (figure 12). A large proportion of them (82.3 per cent) are either mineral- or energy-dependent countries.

• During commodity price booms, the sudden inflow of additional public revenues provides resources to finance increases in public consumption. However, such increases, fuelled by a temporary increase in public income, may be difficult to contain or reverse after sudden declines in commodity prices. For example, public consumption grew in Mozambique and Zambia during the period 2011–2016 when aluminium and copper prices stagnated or fell (figure 13).

While remaining commodity-dependent, some energy-export-dependent CDDCs managed to increase the share of their non-commodity exports by adding value in their downstream sectors…
• In some energy-export-dependent countries, such as Egypt, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Trinidad and Tobago, the share of chemicals (manufactured products downstream from their main exports) in total merchandise exports increased by more than five percentage points between 1998–2002 and 2013–2017. Oman increased the share of chemicals in its exports from 1 per cent to 9.5 per cent during this period, mainly due to the increase in its exports of fertilizers and other derivatives, while Trinidad and Tobago increased the share of chemicals in its exports from 19.4 per cent to 27.7 per cent (figure 14).
• Some countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia significantly increased their refining capacity and production of processed petroleum and gas products (figure 15a). Some of these countries and a few others like Bahrein also took advantage of their abundant energy resources by diversifying into energy-intensive aluminium production (figure 16).

In some energy-export-dependent CDDCs, value-added in downstream activities stagnated or fell
• In Azerbaijan, Nigeria and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela production of petroleum derivative products fell (figure 15b). Similarly, production of aluminium fell in energy-dependent CDDCs such as Azerbaijan and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (figure 16) and stagnated in others such as Nigeria.

Despite higher commodity dependence, some CDDCs managed to expand their manufacturing exports
• For example, in Brazil, the share of commodity exports increased from 44.3 per cent in 1998–2002 to 62.8 per cent in 2013–2017. While its non-commodity exports, notably its auto industry, grew by 160 per cent and accounted for 29.1 per cent of the growth of exports, its agricultural exports grew even faster, at 390 per cent, and accounted for 42.8 per cent of the increase in export value during this period (figure 17).

• In Colombia, commodity export dependence increased from 66.5 per cent in 1998–2002 to 80.6 per cent in 2013–2017, mainly due to a large increase in the value of energy exports (petroleum and coal). Its non-commodity exports also grew, by 110 per cent, and accounted for 14 per cent of the increase in the country’s total exports during this period. Note in the figure that exports of chemicals and other non-commodities increased, together with those of agricultural products (figure 18).

Some CDDCs dependent on energy and mineral exports diversified their exports by boosting agriculture
• Rwanda has become a mineral-export-dependent CDDC over the last 20 years. However, it has also boosted its agricultural exports, which explains 34.2 per cent of the increase in export value. Especially dynamic have been its exports of tropical beverages (coffee and tea) and other agricultural products (figure 19).

• Cameroon has remained an energy-export-dependent CDDC, but its agricultural exports have increased significantly in value terms over the past 20 years (figure 20). Their increase accounted for 38 per cent of the increase in the country’s total export value during the period. This was due, in particular, to the dynamism of its cocoa exports, and, to a lesser extent, some agricultural raw materials, fruits and nuts.

In some CDDCs dependent on energy and mineral exports, the agricultural sector contracted, and export concentration increased
• In Chad, for example, the value of its exports boomed after oil extraction started in 2003 (figure 21). However, cotton exports fell by 40.3 per cent in value terms between 1998–2002 and 2013–2017, resulting from a large reduction in their production and area under cultivation.
• Despite some increases in exports of oilseeds and gum Arabic, the value of Chad’s agricultural exports fell by 16 per cent. This led to the share of agricultural exports in total exports shrinking from 92.5 per cent to 5.8 per cent (figure 22).

• In Equatorial Guinea, petroleum production started in 1994 and peaked in 2004. The cocoa sector, which had been important before the oil boom, registered a fall in production of 93.9 per cent between 1990 and 2017 (figure 23). By 2013–2017, energy accounted for 91 per cent of exports, mostly in crude petroleum form (figure 24).

Diversification and income: A non-linear relationship
• Our data4 suggest that a non-linear relationship exists between a country’s income (proxied by GDP per capita) and its export diversification, measured by Theil’s T concentration index. For high values of that index, increased diversification is associated with lower levels of income per capita, but for middle and low values of the Theil’s T concentration index, higher diversification is associated with higher income per capita.
• Figure 25 is divided into four quadrants using the median values of export concentration and GDP per capita. It shows that relatively wealthy and diversified countries are located in the north-east quadrant of the figure, and most of them are non-commodity-dependent. The exceptions are commodity-dependent developed countries, such as Australia (minerals) and New Zealand (agriculture) and a few commodity-dependent developing countries, such as the United Arab Emirates (energy), Mauritius (apparel), Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay (agriculture), as well as Montenegro (minerals).
• Relatively poor and less diversified countries are located in the south-west quadrant, which contains countries dependent on minerals and agriculture, but also half of all apparel-exporting countries and one third of all energy-dependent countries. Only two non-commodity dependent countries appear in this quadrant: Cabo Verde and Bhutan. Also, in this quadrant are 36 out of 42 LDCs (85.7 per cent), as well as 32 out of 45 sub-Saharan countries (71.1 per cent).
• The north-west quadrant, which contains relatively wealthy but export concentrated countries, is largely populated by energy-export-dependent countries (61.3 per cent of all the countries covered by the data).
• The south-east quadrant contains relatively poor but more diversified economies that are mostly non-commodity-export-dependent: half of the apparel exporters, such as El Salvador, Nepal and Sri Lanka, as well as some agriculture-dependent countries that are relatively diversified, such as Guatemala, Kenya and Uganda.
4 Based on a panel of 4,094 yearly observations of 179 countries for the period 1995–2017, the relationship between the log of GDP per capita and Theil’s T index (TEI) was tested using the following econometric model: log(gdp)=sqrt(Theil’s T)+Theil’s T. TEI, a measure of export concentration, is calculated as ,xk is the value of yearly exports of each product k according to the three-digit SITC revision 3 classification, and n is the total number of products exported by each country. and µ is the average value of exports.

Explanatory Notes for the Country Statistical Profiles
In the 2019 edition of the State of Commodity Dependence some changes have been introduced in terms of countries and indicators included as well as the period covered. All developed economies and economies in transition have been included in this edition, in addition to the developing countries group that was in previous editions of the report. Regarding the time period selected for data coverage, its aim is to provide readers with both a long-term and short-term perspective to compare changes in the statistical indicators. More precisely:
• Left column: 1995 represents the historical reference point for all data series (when available)
• 2013–2017 is the computed five-year average of the last available period in the data
• 2017 is the last year for which data were available for most data series included in the report
Use of an en-dash (–) between dates representing years, e.g. 2013–2017, signifies the full period involved including the initial and final years
An asterix (*) highlights a Least Developed Country in the statistical profiles
A dot (.) in a table indicates a decimal point
Two dots (..) in a table indicate that the data are not available, or are not separately reported
A dash (-) in a table indicates that the amount is nil or negligible
The symbol, % in a graph indicates a percentage
Merchandise and commodity export dependence
Trade data are based on the third revision of the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC), using disaggregation up to the 3-digit level.
No trade-related statistics for the following countries are presented in the left column (1995) for the following reasons:
• Indonesia and Timor-Leste – trade data started to be reported separately only from 2012 onwards.
• Serbia and Montenegro – trade data started to be reported separately for these two countries only from 2008 onwards.
• Sudan – trade data started to be reported only from 2012 onwards.
Given the absence of trade data for South Sudan, this country has not been included in the 2019 edition of the State of Commodity Dependence.

Definition
In some cases, available data corresponding to a reporting country do not allocate specific trade flows to certain trading partners and/or specific product lines. In such cases, unallocated values have been computed using the following formula: Total merchandise export value reported by the country (indicator #1) minus the sum of all individual product lines allocated to one specific trading partner and one specific item. The value thus obtained is then estimated as a share of total merchandise exports, in value terms, as reported by the country and available in UNCTADStat

Source UNCTADStat
Website https://unctad.org/en/Pages/statistics.aspx
Unit Index value
Definition
Concentration index, also named Herfindahl-Hirschmann Index (Product HHI), is a measure of the degree of product concentration. The following normalized HHI is used in order to obtain values between 0 and 1:
Hj = country or country group index
xij = value of export for country j and product i
and
n = number of products (SITC Revision 3 at 3-digit group level).
An index value closer to 1 indicates a country’s exports or imports are highly concentrated on a few products. On the contrary, values closer to 0 reflect exports or imports are more homogeneously distributed among a series of products.

Definition
The Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative percentages of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest individual or household. The Gini index measures the area between the Lorenz curve and a hypothetical line of absolute equality, expressed as a percentage of the maximum area below the line. Thus, a Gini index of 0 represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality

Source Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Food security indicators
Website http://www.fao.org/economic/ess/ess-fs/ess-fadata/en/#.W7IMyXszaHs
Unit Per cent
Definition
The prevalence of undernourishment expresses the probability that a randomly selected individual from the population consumes a number of calories that are insufficient to cover her/his energy requirement for an active and healthy life. The indicator is computed by comparing a probability distribution of habitual daily dietary energy consumption with a threshold level called the minimum dietary energy requirement. Both are based on the notion of an average individual in the reference population

Comment
The indicator is calculated in three-year averages to reduce the impact of possible errors in estimated Dietary Energy Supply, due to the difficulties in properly accounting for stock variations in major food items.
