Biofuels Responsible for Higher Food Prices and Agriculture ETFs? | Page 2 of 2 | ETF Trends

One of the few good points about skyrocketing food prices is that they could benefit agriculture-focused ETFs:

  • PowerShares DB Agriculture (DBA): up 18.7% year-to-date
  • Market Vectors Global Agribusiness (MOO): up 2.5% year-to-date
  • iPath Dow Jones Agriculture (JJA): up 11.4% year-to-date

As long as biofuels exist, there are a number of green and alternative energy ETFs around that can capture the sector, including:

  • PowerShares Cleantech Portfolio (PZD)
  • Van Eck Market Vectors Environmental Services (EVX)
  • First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge (QCLN)
