agricultural markets
Crop trading venues
Agricultural markets are venues—physical or abstract—where farm products and related commodities are bought and sold.
These range from local farmers' markets and livestock auctions to global commodity exchanges where futures contracts for wheat, corn, and soybeans trade hands.
The term also refers collectively to the economic systems governing supply, demand, and pricing for agricultural goods.
Government subsidies have distorted agricultural markets for decades.
