Ítem Cobertura del riesgo de precio para productos cárnicos en Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Villada Molano, Santiago; Santacruz Monroy, Daniel; Pantoja Robayo, Javier OrlandoIn the present research, a food Colombian company was studied which faced financial challenges related to the risk of meat product input prices. Because of this situation, the company decided to implement a financial hedge to mitigate the impact of meat product costs on the company's expenses. A comparison of different global commodity exchanges was made, as the Colombian gastronomic industry experiences constant variations in ingredient prices due to their fluctuation in the international market, and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange was picked. It was proposed to carry out financial derivatives contracts to execute hedges against price risk in meat products, to ensure stable prices over time, and consequently, cost reduction. It was recommended to implement hedges not only within the company, but also across the entire gastronomic industry, as significant price reductions that positively impacted costs were observed.
