Abstract

This chapter examines the institution in aggregation effort and farmer participation, and the institutional roles in aggregation efforts. A case study approach has been adopted to understand the intervention of aggregators in the forward/futures market. As earlier effort has not assessed the demand environment, supply and distribution of futures trading services, the study attempts to capture a few factors contributing to the economics of farmer participation in the derivative market. This would offer some future direction to the regulator and policy makers to initiate major reforms for improving the market structure, conduct, and performance. Demand related factors are, namely market awareness (financial literacy), risk preference, futures trading know-how, among others. Supply-side factors include (futures) trading terminal, broker service, futures contract information board, while the proximity of broker office, awareness camp, exchange official’s training and visit, trading account opening service account for the distribution of futures trading services.
