Risk Management
Risk
Management has become almost a necessity for most agricultural industries that
buy, sell, store, transport, or process grains or grain products. Markets have
evolved to display seemingly ever greater volatility than has been seen in
decades. Violent price movements, up or down,
threaten the very viability of many companies within our industry, not to
mention the cash flow requirements necessary to maintain risk management
strategies. FITC will work with your individual needs and
help you determine the need for a risk management strategy and your tolerance
for risk. With the countless risk management tools that can be utilized, the
FITC team can suggest those tools and a strategy that might bring some measure
of risk management to your operation. While we are not a futures or options
brokerage firm and do not directly trade such instruments for customers, we can
put you in touch with reputable brokerage houses whose business it is to trade
these products. A risk management strategy is essential to any comprehensive
procurement program.
