Agricultural Futures Markets

Agricultural futures markets are platforms where farmers, buyers, and investors agree to buy or sell commodities like wheat, corn, or soybeans at a set price today for delivery at a future date. These contracts help participants manage risks related to price fluctuations caused by weather, demand, or other factors. By locking in prices ahead of time, farmers can secure income and buyers can control costs. The markets also offer opportunities for traders to speculate on price movements, providing liquidity and contributing to overall market stability.
