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.
