Forward contract introduction
Sometimes it sells after the harvest for over $0.30, and this guy makes a ton of money per pound.발음듣기
And then sometimes it drops down to $0.10 per pound, and this guy can't even cover his costs.발음듣기
They don't like the unpredictability of one year having a feast and then one year having a famine.발음듣기

So they could set up a contract where the chain agrees to buy one million pounds at a specified date, - let's just say after the harvest - at the harvest for $0.20 a pound.발음듣기
This works out well for the chain because regardless of what the market price ends up being, they can ensure that they will pay $0.20 a pound, which is a good price where they could make a decent profit and at least they have the predictability and they can plan on things.발음듣기
And it works out for the farmer because he knows that a $0.20 a pound, he can cover his costs and pay his rent and pay his employees and feed his family.발음듣기
And what it is, as you can see, is in agreement and it's an obligation for both parties to transact in the future at a specified price.발음듣기
So at the time of this harvest when they write this contract, they would specify this date - I don't know what it might be - November 15.발음듣기
And then this pie chain is obligated to produce the money, to pay $0.20 a pound or essentially produce $200,000.발음듣기
