Protective Structures
For more information about our products and services and to see how we can support your future chocolate innovations, please
Our protective structures protect you from increases in the price of cocoa, while preserving the potential to extend cover below today’s prices.
Cocoa prices are increasingly subject to large swings. Cocoa future prices can leave you facing high volatility, resulting in, higher raw material costs, a lower margin or worsen your competitive position. Protective structures are set up to counter these situations.
We can tailor our protective structures to your individual market view and embed them in the physical contract to help avoid administrative burden, accounting complexity, credit exposure, and higher costs associated with managing price risk through traditional derivatives.
