Cover Story: An effective strategy for price risk management would help farmers navigate through the uncertain environment in which they operate. The authors tested the effectiveness of hedging price risks with future contracts for Italian farmers in the field crop sector. An assembled portfolio of a combined spot and future position was compared for different hedging horizons and through different risk measures. The findings confirmed that hedging strategies with future contracts can be effective for farmers in Italy, reporting a variability decrease for all the portfolio’s risk measures. View this paper
