THE STATE OF COMMODITY DEPENDENCE 2012 NOTES AND SOURCES The State of Commodity Dependence 2012 was prepared by the Special Unit on Commodities (SUC) of UNCTAD. This document aims to provide an individual country overview of the commodity-related situation of 154 developing countries. This publication also contains graphs which present a regional and global perspective of commodity dependence in the developing world over the period 2009. If you have any comments about this publication, please contact the Special Unit on Commodities at commodities@unctad.org or call us on +41 22 9175676.
