    Mitigación del riesgo de mercado a través de derivados agrícolas para la producción de panela en Santander – Colombia
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Cárdenas Caro, John Wilson; Osorio León, Elizabeth; Giraldo Arango, Mateo
    In Colombia, the sugarcane sector is the second most important agroindustry in economic and social terms after coffee, with a 5.9% share in the agricultural GDP, positioning the country as the second largest producer in the world, after India (Ministerio de Agricultura y Desarrollo Rural, 2021). With a direct socioeconomic impact on nearly 350 thousand families, an approximate generation of 280 thousand jobs and more than 200 thousand hectares of cultivated area in 2019 (Elpais.com.co, 2022), the different factors that affect price formation through the interactions of supply and demand deserve special attention. In this paper we will consider how, through agricultural derivatives, it is possible to mitigate the market risk to which agents of the panelero sector, whose production is massively concentrated in the department of Santander, Colombia, are exposed. Through the formation of such derivative, with an underlying proxy based on sugar cane and the behavior observed in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), it is intended to provide an alternative to mitigate the risks associated with the volatility observed in income in recent years, and contribute to the strengthening, stability and productivity of this industry.
