Ross Kingwell

Australasian Agribusiness Review, 2000, vol. 08, 12

Abstract: This article briefly explores the nature of price risk faced by Australian broad acre farmers and outlines some farm management ramifications of price risk. The article describes the variation in price risk across time and across commodities. The underlying distributional form of prices faced by farmers is shown to have important ramifications for farm management. The likelihood of increases in price risk over the coming two decades is also discussed.
