Soft commodity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A soft commodity is a commodity such as coffee, cocoa, sugar and fruit. This term generally refers to commodities that are grown, rather than mined. Soft commodities play a major part in the futures market. They are used both by farmers wishing to lock-in the future prices of their crops, and by speculative investors seeking a profit.
