Risk Sharing In Poultry Contracts

Author

Listed:
  • Hegde, S. Aaron

Abstract

Previous literature has found that 84% of risk in poultry grow-out farms is transferred to the integrator. One of the main reasons behind this is the absence of a market price variable in determining compensation. We do not find this to be the case with more recent contracts, which include a market price clause. We also use VaR methodology to look at the risk inherent in the new contracts.
