About the journal

Commodity Vision, Since its inception in July 2007, TAER has been bringing out a quarterly journal, Commodity Vision, in fulfilment of its diverse mission objectives, and has been disseminating its in-house research findings. Commodity Vision, published from Mumbai, is a semi academic journal that primarily deals with commodities. It features well-researched articles and analyses. In that sense it acts as a kind of commodity research economist with domain knowledge on a wide spectrum of commodities. However, given the growing popularity of the journal we had made the journal a bimonthly, but from July 2011 issue the journal goes quarterly.

The journal contains research articles analysing commodity prices, and determining factors that influence prices. Each issue contains a Special Report that focuses on a specific commodity or a commodity complex.

The journal is useful to all the commodity market functionaries, including producers, processors, traders, brokers, hedgers, arbitrageurs, and speculators who form a part of the commodity ecosystem. The publication also assists the regulators as well as government bodies such as the Planning Commission, the Reserve Bank of India, government departments relating to agriculture, textiles, energy, steel, finance, petroleum, metals, etc., as also bureaucrats, politicians, and policy makers, in decision making and understanding the implications of their actions and policies.
