Book Description
The objective of this study is to determine the factors contributing to the success or failure of agricultural futures contracts. Commodities with futures markets and without futures markets were selected and analyzed with respect to their product homogeneity, vertical integration, buyer concentration, activeness of their cash market, cash price variability, and size of their cash market. Homogeneity, vertical integration, buyer concentration, and activeness of the cash market were measured by the Delphi approach. An active cash market is a necessary condition for futures contract success. The structure of the marketing channel, the size of the cash market, the activeness of the cash market, the effectiveness of the grading system (homogeneity), liquidity cost, the ability of the own hedge market to bear more risk than the existing cross hedge market, and cash price variability are important in explaining differences in volume and open interest among existing futures markets. Results also suggest that none of the non-traded commodities considered is likely to have a successful contract if it were traded; since, none have an active cash market.

Book Description
Why do some futures contracts succeed and others fail? Although the U.S. futures markets have evolved in a trial-and-error fashion, a survey of relevant research suggests key elements have determined whether particular futures contracts succeeded or failed. This knowledge could be useful for new financial centers as they build successful futures markets. This paper shows that there are three elements that determine whether a futures contract succeeds or not:1. There must be a commercial need for hedging;2. A pool of speculators must be attracted to a market; and3. Public policy should not be too adverse to futures trading.

Book Description
As in many other sectors, in agribusiness major changes are taking place. On the demand side, consumers are changing lifestyles, eating and shopping habits, and increasingly are demanding more accommodation of these needs in the supermarket. With regard to the supply: the traditional distribution channel dominators - manufacturers of branded consumer products - are trying hard to defend their positions against retailers, who gather and use information about the consumer to streamline their enterprises and strengthen their ties with the consumer. The agricultural producers, meanwhile, face increased regulations with regard to food additives, pesticides, and herbicides. Pressures rise as their business becomes more specialized and capital-intensive than that of their predecessors. Finally, the larger political climate is not so favorable to agriculture, which now has to compete in the global market without significant government support. This title describes and interprets changes in the domain of agriculture and food. The contributors develop the theme of taking an interdisciplinary approach to coping with these changes, using concepts and methods developed in general marketing, which are adapted so as to apply to the particular characteristics of the food and agriculture sector. This book is published to honor the distinguished career of Professor Mathew T.G. Meulenberg from Wageningen Agricultural University, on the occasion of his retirement in September 1996. As a scientist, teacher, and advisor to the agribusiness and the government, Professor Meulenberg has made an important contribution to the development of marketing, inside and outside the domain of agriculture.
