Production & Statistics Marketing activity is driven by the domestic and international demand for grain commodities. As can be seen from the graph to the right, while the demand for grain varies greatly from year to year, overall demand trends upwards when viewed over the timescale of a decade or more.

Major Customers GrainCorp's major customers cover a wide geographic area from the Pacific, through South-East Asia, to Japan and China, the Middle East and Europe. The graph below illustrates our top export customers by the number of tonnes purchased in the 2008/2009 marketing year.

Trading I: Inroduction to Grain Marketing

Grain Supply Chain The process of marketing any commodity, whether it is grain, oilseeds, wool or livestock, can be thought of as two inter-related but parallel systems. One system is the physical means of handling, storing and conditioning a commodity. The second is the pricing system which provides the underlying market signals for the movement of goods through the supply chain from the producer to the consumer.

The Supply Chain The flow of a commodity such as grain moves from the farm producer to the end-user or consumer. This can be thought of as a 'marketing chain' connecting supply and demand. At points in the chain where changes in ownership of the commodity occur, price can be determined (we'll discuss this further in later sections). This is illustrated in the diagram below.

As one moves from left to right across the diagram, the commodity is usually assembled into larger and larger lots. The volume or number of individual cash transactions at each point in the marketing chain also typically declines while the quantity of size of each transaction usually increases. In addition, the price or value of the commodity increases as value is added.

Price Basing Point As can be imagined, the price of grain will vary greatly depending on the point at which the customer 'takes delivery' or is responsible for the grain. For GrainCorp, the price point of the grain will be lower the closer to the collection point that the customer takes responsibility.

Trading I: Inroduction to Grain Marketing

For example, if the customer takes responsibility for the grain when it is in the silo, they will have to pay for the cost of road or rail transport to the port, elevation into the port silo, loading on to the ship, freight to the destination port, unloading costs and logistical costs associated with final delivery to the production site. The price of the grain will be lower if GrainCorp takes responsibility for any of these steps. Commodities costs are highest when the product is sold C&F, CIF or CIFFO, all of which involve freight, insurance and unloading or a combination of all three.

International Price Discovery The comparative distance between two sellers and the market for a particular commodity can enable us to determine the price that which a commodity can be sold. For example, image that a seller in the U.S.> places a price of $200 per tonne on their grain and they will incur a cost of $41 per tonne to ship that grain to a customer in South East Asia. We can use these amounts to work out how much we can price grain for, and still be competitive in that market. Given that Australia is geographically closer to South East Asia than the U.S., our freight costs will be lower. Assuming a freight cost of $32 per tonne, a quick calculation will tell us;

Trading I: Inroduction to Grain Marketing

As we can see, while the commodity price in the U.S. is $9.00 lower than in Australia, the freight costs to move the commodity into a South East Asian market is significantly higher. We can then afford to sell at a slightly higher price into this market and take advantage of a higher margin on this commodity. The reverse would also be true for a market such as Latin American which is closer to U.S. growers and handlers. Alternatively, we could lower our price and take market share from a competitor who must bring grain from further afield.

Local Price Discovery We can also use the same technique to work out how to price grain domestically. The diagram below shows the potential prices arrived at for three locations in Victoria. Given that Australia is geographically closer to South East Asia than the U.S., our freight costs will be lower. Assuming a freight cost of $32 per tonne, a quick calculation will tell us;

Commodity Price vs. Freight Cost As we've seen, the cost of a commodity will vary depending whereabouts on the supply chain the customer takes responsibility for the goods being purchased, and the distance from the market. Another factor that must be considered is the ratio of the freight cost to the total value of the commodity. As you will see from the table below, the cost of freight is not standard for all commodities.

Trading I: Inroduction to Grain Marketing

Consequently, the price of a commodity will be related to the cost of shipping that commodity to the end user and the ease at which this can be done. Taking wool as an example, we can see that the value of this commodity is far greater than the cost of shipping it to the customer; not only does it have a higher commodity price based on its comparative scarcity (~1.3 million tonnes per year), it can be baled easily into a standard size and shape, can be stored indefinitely until market conditions are favourable, and is easier to handle than loose commodities such as grain. In comparison, wheat is a loose food commodity, has a finite storage life, must be stored with care and has a lower unit value than wool. In this respect, the percentage of the freight cost of the total commodity price is much higher for wheat than many other commodities and the margins for wheat traders are therefore significantly smaller. Freight costs therefore play a major role in consideration the price of wheat.

Supply & Demand While the flow of a commodity moves from the on-farm producer to the end-user or consumer, price signals from the consumer flow back to the producer through the marketing chain. The forward flow of the commodity therefore represents Supply and then backwards flow of information regarding price represents Demand. At points in the chain where changes in ownership of the commodity occur, price is discovered. This is illustrated in the diagram below. As one moves from right to left across the diagram, the price is typically lower as costs and margins are deducted. The marketplace reflects these supply/demand imbalances through adjustments in the price.

Risk As we learned in the previous course, Trading I: Introduction to Grain Marketing, Risk can be defined as

What is a Hedge?

likelihood that something will occur that will affect the business at some time in the future. Usually we expect that this „something‟ will be an occurrence with negative consequences. There are three main sources of Risk that we try to manage in the context of Grain Marketing, being;

In finance, a hedge is a position established in one

 Price Risk

market in an attempt to offset

The risk that prices will move against a

exposure to price fluctuations

position that a trader has taken in a

in some opposite position in

commodity market

another market. There are many

 Customer Risk

specific

financial

vehicles to accomplish this.

The risk that the customer will not „meet their end‟ of the contract that has been made. For example, the customer may not have the financial means to pay for the commodity when the time comes for delivery  Logistics & Operational Risks

The risk that a logistical issue might prevent or delay the delivery of the commodity to a market or other risks that affect the operation of the organisation or its infrastructure

Risk Management Hedging & Futures Hedging in the futures market is one way that we can minimise risk. A future hedge serves as a substitute for a cash purchase or sale. As we‟ve seen, futures contracts (often simply called „Futures‟) are contacts between a buyer and a seller to exchange a;  A specified asset or commodity 15/05/2012C:\Documents
