soft agricultural commodities
軟性(農產)商品


Explanation:
From Investopedia, "A commodity such as coffee, cocoa, sugar and fruit. This term generally refers to commodities that are grown, rather than mined...Soft commodities play a major part in the futures market. They are used both by farmers wishing to lock-in the future prices of their crops, and by speculative investors seeking a profit."

Commodities is 商品. Thus, the translation should contain the term 商品.

soft and agricultural are referring to the same thing in this context. Therefore it suffices to mention either 軟性 or 農產. If you prefer to stick to the style of the original writing, then use 軟性農產商品.



Example sentence(s):
  • 農產商品在歐美期貨市場又稱為「軟性」商品,以別於礦產類的「硬性」商品。
