Answer to Question 1

This forum is amazing.

Answer to Question 2

Commodity agreements used to be influential in helping to stabilize commodity prices, but now they are more involved in disseminating information and promoting research. OPEC is an example of an effective producers' cartel that operates on quotas to try to stabilize prices. In general, very little can be done outside of market forces to influence price.
