Cocoa risk-management tools

CARGILL has introduced three new tools in its price risk services portfolio, namely the CocoaPacer, CocoaPacer Cap and CocoaRange Cap. Designed to help protect customers from volatility when pricing their cocoa ingredients, these tools complement the traditional pricing approaches currently used by the company’s customers. They likewise offer an additional approach to managing price risk at the stage of sourcing ingredients. An important feature of this approach is to provide customers with a hedge benefit, to manage uncertainty and anxiety that goes with making a traditional pricing decision.
