Abstract

ResumenEste artículo documenta la magnitud y tendencias de las fluctuaciones de precios del arroz en Colombia a través de los eslabones de la cadena de valor. Así mismo, explora las posibilidades de introducir estrategias y mecanismos, tanto a nivel de empresa como basados en el mercado bursátil, para la administración de riesgos de precios por los empresarios de la cadena productiva. En concreto se argumenta la importancia de que los agricultores mantengan el control del producto físico mediante esquemas de secamiento y almacenamiento propios del arroz paddy seco. También se discuten algunos de los requisitos y limitaciones actuales para organizar y desarrollar los mercados de físicos y de futuros y derivados para el arroz en la Bolsa Mercantil de Colombia BMC. Esto con el fin de reducir el impacto de la variabilidad de precios sobre el desempeno financiero del negocio arrocero en su fase agrícola, de transformación y distribución.Palabras Clave: Arroz, administración de riesgos, riesgo financiero, riesgo de preciosAbstractThis article documents both the size and trends of rice price fluctuations in Colombia throughout the chain value. It also discusses possibilities for economic agents to implement both conventional and market based price risk management strategies and mechanisms. Specifically, it contends the importance for rice farmers to hold control on the spot market of paddy rice by extending own drying and storage facilities. Main requisites and present constraints to organize the rice cash market as well as the future and derivative market for rice in the Colombian Board of Trade BMC are presented. The whole discussion aims at reducing the impact of rice price volatility upon the financial performance of the rice business across the supply chain.Key Words: Rice, risk management, financial risk, price risk
