The commodity projects are to a large degree global (focusing on demand side), but at the country level (supply side) they are concentrated on Brazil and Indonesia. DRC and the Congo basin are not targeted by the projects in the commodity category.
The table includes the countries with the highest budgets and/or a high number of projects.
