<h1>Commodity Futures Markets Aid Price Discovery, Manage Risks, and Help Farmers Achieve Better Price Realization Through Information Projects.</h1> The commodity futures market serves as a mechanism for price discovery and risk management, not as a cause for price increases. Prices are determined by actual market demand and supply, with futures markets predicting likely future prices based on these factors. This system helps reduce seasonal price volatility, enabling farmers to achieve better price realization during harvest. Farmers can use future price trends to plan cultivation, storage, and sales. The Forward Markets Commission has initiated projects to provide price information through Ticker Boards, SMS alerts, and newspapers, reducing information asymmetry and aiding farmers in securing better prices from intermediaries.
