BEEF PRICE HEDGING OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOOD SERVICE INSTITUTIONS

Stephen E. Miller

Journal of Food Distribution Research, 1980, vol. 11, issue 3, 6

Abstract: The author investigates the effectiveness of the fed cattle futures market as a cross hedging medium for food service institutions in the wholesale meat purchasing process. Cross hedging strategies appear to allow food service institutions to reduce the variability of wholesale meat prices.
