Abstract
The volatility of agricultural commodity prices has increased strongly, as shown by the price of rapeseed in the EU. Such volatility hurts agri-food manufacturers when they purchase agricultural products. The document shows how food industries may reduce risks of commodity price fluctuations by hedging with securities available on futures markets.
