One of the original goals of the Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) was to develop a set of early warning global market indicators which could alert AMIS members to detect market conditions that could lead to excessive price volatility. Early meetings of AMIS in 2011 and 2012 considered a variety of measures. This report summarizes the results of a technical workshop that was held in November 2015 to consider several global market indicators which could be potentially incorporated into the AMIS Market Monitor.
