Primary commodities still account for a large share of export earnings for many countries. The Expert Meeting is expected to discuss how the vicious cycle of commodity dependence can be broken and turned into a virtuous cycle of dynamism and development. Diversification and industrialization require several different types of measures addressing the various causes of commodity dependency. For countries dependent on mineral commodities, the central problem is how to channel the income from mineral exports into the building of human and physical capital. In the case of agricultural commodity exporters, diversification involves the identification of dynamic products and markets as well as appropriate policies and actions by Governments and enterprises for entering these markets
