- Abstract
Rubber price instability is a concern to the producers, traders, and other market participants including the Government. Small farm holders contribute around 88% to the total area under rubber cultivation in India. They are prone to high price variations of rubber resulting their financial viability and rubber productivity. This study has tried to understand price risk management practices and explored the viability of rubber futures contract in managing price risk. The rubber spot and futures move in tandem with bidirectional causal relationship. The study also finds small farm holders' constraints in participating in derivatives exchange and suggests strengthening Rubber Producer Societies in marketing activities and hedging through derivative instruments.
