ABSTRACT
Commodity derivatives have a crucial role to play in managing price risk especially in
agriculture dominated economies. However, they have been utilized in a very limited scale in
India. As long as prices of many commodities are restrained to certain extent by government
intervention in production, supply and distribution, forwards and futures markets for hedging
price risk in those commodities have only limited practical relevance. A review of the nature of
institutional and policy level constraints facing this segment calls for more focused and
pragmatic approach from government, the regulator and the exchanges for making the
agricultural futures markets a vibrant segment for risk management.
Commodity Derivative Market is one of the important and flourishing markets in
India. It also supports the agricultural sector, the backbone of India. This market has become
the most desirable investment option for both the small and large investors. Accumulation of
wealth, predominantly through investments, has been the prime motive of every human life on
the earth. Investments are considered to be safe and good when they are presumed to give
maximum return with minimum risk. Though an investment in the commodity market is
considered to be a little risky, there are some commodities that may be proved to be safe.
Investments in commodity market have been less risky than that of the stock market.
