Hedging Strategies for Buyers of Agricultural Produce
As a buyer of agricultural produce, whether wheat, corn, oats, soybeans or rice and whether for animal feed or for production,
you’ll never be able to eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices. But there are ways to manage it. By
incorporating Chicago Board of Trade futures and options contracts into your
procurement practices, you’ll be better able to manage the effects of changing
prices. This special strategy booklet describes futures and options
hedging applications that can be used to put a lid on rising prices, establish a ceiling price without a floor,
establish a buying range with a ceiling and a floor price, and protecting inventory values.

Futures & Options Strategy Guide
Hedging strategies for agricultural sellers (producers) are essentially those futures and options
trade combinations that generate profit when prices fall. Conversely, hedging strategies for
agricultural buyers such as ranchers needing feed grain, or food processors, are essentially
those futures and options trade combinations that generate profit when prices rise. In each
case, there are a variety of trade positions that can be established depending upon the hedger's
price and volatility expectations, tolerance for risk, and operating budget.
This 49-page Strategy Guide illustrates 21 such trading strategies, both from the long side and the short side,
in an easy-to-analyse, graphical format. It starts with basic, simple strategies and progresses to more sophisticated
option-related strategies. It is a handy reference for organizing many of the
available strategies made possible by the futures and options markets.
