Commodity export dependence is the share of a country's merchandise exports that comes from raw commodities — farm produce, oil, gas and coal, and minerals, ores and metals. UNCTAD calls a country commodity-dependent when that share is above 60 per cent, because its export earnings then rise and fall with world commodity prices.

Commodity Export Dependence, 2014 covers 191 countries on 4 measures. South Sudan is highest, at 99.861; Bangladesh is lowest, at 5.861. The middle country reads 67.562.
