Soft Commodity
A soft commodity is loosely defined as any commodity that is grown and/or harvested. This includes plants and well as livestock. Soft commodities are common underlying assets for futures contracts. This categorization is useful for investors because these commodities are normally affected by the same macro events. Soybeans, cacao, and sugar are some of the most commonly traded soft commodities.
