Abstract This article introduces hedging with futures contracts as a risk management strategy in forestry. It tests and indicates the feasibility of using newly available urea futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange to hedge urea, the most common nitrogen fertilizer usedin forest management. A significant direct price movement relationship exists between urea cash prices and urea futures. In detailing how to implement this hedge, net realized urea prices are calculated for two fertilization seasons for the US South in 2004 and 2005. Both hedges reduce thegap between expected costs and actual out-of-pocket costs relative to unhedged urea purchases. These results suggest that urea futures contracts can effectively reduce price risk, defined as unexpected price changes, for forestry applications. The newness of the urea futures contract, whichbegan trading in May 2004, limits the ability to assess the long-term impacts on the SD of net realized cash costs for urea over longer time frames.

The Impact

Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil derived from the mesocarp (reddish pulp) of the fruit of the oil palm, primarily the African oil palm Elaeis guineensis. Oil palm is one of agriculture comodity that can increase farmers income, provide raw material on manufacture industry which can create added value.  The expansion of oil palm farming in Indonesia has shifted the use of mineral land to suboptimal land which is currently available in many place in Indonesia. Generally the aim of this research is to anylize the competitiveness sensitivity of oil palm farming. Specifically this research wants to anylize the sensitivity on input-output changing, and to anylize the impact of government policy on input-output when facing fluctuation price. In order to reach the goal of this research we used Policy Anlayisis Matrix (PAM). The result of this research shows that partially the declining of price, declining of output volume and increasing input price PCR value and DRCR < 1, which means that the oil palm farming on suboptimal land has competitivenes, and the absence of government policy on determaining input price nor output price on oil palm farming in at suboptimal land. While simultanously shows that the fluctuation of input and output price causes value of PCR dan DRCR  > 1 with PCR value 1,12 and DRCR value 1,04, means that oil palm farming on suboptimal land at Musi Rawas Regency not feasible and has no competitiveness.  It means that government policy needed to protect input price in oil palm farming on suboptimal land.  Therefore government support and guidence in oil palm farming technology on suboptimal land also needed to increase the production of oil palm farming on suboptimal land.

Econometric Assessment

The model of production decision making for the expected utility maximizing firm under output price uncertainty is applied to a panel Pennsylvania dairy operators. The model generalized duality implemented in this paper has the advantage of generating a system of supply and variable factor demand functions that consistently account for the presence of output price risk. The application to Pennsylvania dairy operators indicates that output price risk measured by the second and third moments of individual operators’ historical output price series is not an important factor in production decision making. In addition to not maximizing expected utility, these operators are not expected profit maximizers.
