NYSE Liffe lists a broad range of Commodity Products including Cocoa, Robusta Coffee, White Sugar, Feed Wheat, Milling Wheat, Rapeseed & Corn, all of which trade exclusively on LIFFE CONNECT®.

The contracts are actively traded by a diverse range of participants, including producers, exporters, trade-houses, processors and manufacturers as well as by managed funds and both institutional and short-term/proprietary investors.
