Tom King, Cargill’s customer risk manager, explained that CocoaPacer, CocoaPacer Cap, and CocoaRange Cap are built on Cargill’s long history of trading agricultural commodities, and were “straightforward, transparent” tools help customers “spend less time and energy debating an array of risk management decisions.”
The new tools are built into existing customer contracts and are meant to be used in concert with traditional pricing approaches.
