Risk Management

Cargill offers global expertise in risk management to help eligible customers identify and better manage the price risk issues affecting their business, now and in the future. We have risk management tools that can be tailored to fit unique risk situations. Our risk management support is designed to help customers mitigate their financial exposure and protect their operating margins.

• Hedging Products—We have a global team that structures and implements over-the-counter risk management products for institutional hedging customers worldwide. From locations in Minneapolis, Geneva, Sao Paolo, Singapore, and Tokyo, we deliver mechanisms to help these customers diversify their exposures across all traded agricultural commodities. We also have hedging products for energy-related commodities. We deal in a variety of instruments, from the most basic to the most sophisticated.
• Financial Hedges—Cargill can help establish financially settled hedges tailored to customers’ unique specifications. At or before contract expiration, these agreements result in a net exchange of cash flows. All such customer transactions are created and executed discreetly, with full confidentiality.
• Customized Hedging Programs—Cargill also delivers custom hedging programs to provide customers with a disciplined approach for controlling your price exposures.
