Abstract

This study explores the potential of routine preharvest cross-hedging of rough rice using wheat futures contract prices. A numerical simulation approach combined with risk efficiency analysis evaluates a wide rage of cross-hedging alternatives. Results establish that farm-level cross-hedging can be considered a viable marketing alternative.
