Managing risk

Protecting your business from rising interest rates, changing commodity prices and currency movements will ensure steady cash flow in unpredictable times.

We offer a range of risk management products specifically for the agribusiness sector, helping you sustain growth and compete internationally.

Commodity risk management
Commodity risk management products such as swaps and options can provide certainty around fluctuating prices, making it easier to predict and manage your profit margins. They also give you the opportunity to benefit from favourable movements in commodity prices.

Wheat swaps
Australian growers and purchasers are exposed to fluctuating wheat prices because international sales are conducted in US dollars.

Our wheat swaps help you manage this risk by allowing you to fix the price of wheat per tonne in Australian dollar terms. This removes or reduces the volatility and uncertainty associated with fluctuations in US dollar wheat prices and currency movements.

Currency risk management
Currency risk management safeguards your business from the negative impact of exchange rate fluctuations.

Exchange rate movements can also provide opportunities for gains. Implementing a risk management strategy gives you the best of both worlds by allowing you to strike a balance between risk and return.
