Oil Palm tree is originally from Nigeria, Africa – brought to Malaysia by the BritishOver 90% of cultivated Oil Palm today is in Malaysia and Indonesia
Africans generally eat it unprocessedCultivation hasn’t taken off in a big way in South America – Palm Trees there plagued by ‘bud rot’ – has killed off entire plantations in as little as 2 years

BackwardationThere’s always more coming next month
Contagos are rare, and great hedging opportunities

Main Features of tax structure
• Collect Rents• Keep domestic food prices low• Support development of downstream industry – the tax
differential is in effect, a processing subsidy that isn’t an export subsidy and hence doesn’t violate WTO rules
Main Goals of tax structure
• Progressive tax structure• Differentiated across refined products
![Page 22: FRE 501 2013 Lab 9 (Nov 5 th )](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816630550346895dd996f3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Other countries’ response• India protects its own processing industry with
very high import tariffs for the refined product• China doesn’t mind importing refined product
– it blends it with soybeans and rapeseed. China protects its crushing processing though
• Malaysian refineries have been the largest losers because of Indonesian tax structure – Malaysia introduced similar tax structure this year to help refiners compete

Hedging
Hedging an annual crop is a one year cashflow optimization problem – Planting decisions reset every year
Economics of perennial crops differ from Economics of annual crops
How So?
Hedging perennials (any trees or plantations) is a multi-year cashflow optimization problem

Commodity SwapsA Swap is simply a promise between two parties to exchange cashflows – think of this as a series of futures contracts that auto-terminate
A commodity swap usually has a ‘fixed price’ leg and a ‘floating’ price leg
The difference is cash-settled at the end (no delivery)
The simplest commodity swap is essentially like a futures contract that auto-closes at an agreed termination date.
![Page 36: FRE 501 2013 Lab 9 (Nov 5 th )](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816630550346895dd996f3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Options
• Commodity Options give the buyer the right to purchase (vs futures which give the buyer the obligation to purchase)
• Options can be combined many different ways• Collar is a sold call and bought put (or vice
versa) – a collar pair of options at the same strike price is essentially a swap
![Page 37: FRE 501 2013 Lab 9 (Nov 5 th )](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816630550346895dd996f3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Why use derivatives like swaps and collars instead of just futures, or OTC contracts
• Leveraging the banks’ cheaper cost of capital– Will need to negotiate ISDAs and CSAs
• Reduces the need to micromanage futures, execution, reduce market impact. Usually did ‘asianing’ swaps – average price over the month
• Swaps are fungible and can be novated to reduce counter-party risk
• Derivatives can more effectively protect the cash-flow needs of the business, at economically sensitive price points

Economics vs. Statistics• In a historical linear world, statistical
techniques such as normal distributions and regressions work well for forecasting
• In our current complex world, understanding the economics is far more important: what happens if biofuel mandates go away?
• Bank pricing models often use versions of black scholes model to price futures options – what’s wrong with this?

List of derivative examples:• Swaps• Collars• 3-way collars: – Sold two put options, bought one call option
based on supply curve and food demand, probability of prices falling below $600 virtually negligible
• Extendible swaps, extendible collars• Spread options
![Page 42: FRE 501 2013 Lab 9 (Nov 5 th )](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816630550346895dd996f3/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Refinery Spread-Options• In 2011, the first oil palm plantation/refinery business
to sell PO-GO spread options, made over US$5 mil without refining a drop of oil
• The biodiesel refinery is essentially a physical option on the PO-GO spread. When Palm Oil gets very cheap relative to diesel, the refinery can convert it into biodiesel and sell at the higher price
• This doesn’t work the other way – biodiesel cannot be converted into food
![Page 43: FRE 501 2013 Lab 9 (Nov 5 th )](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816630550346895dd996f3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Concluding Remarks• Understanding the microeconomics is key to
understanding policy repercussions• The spread of Oil Palm and deforestation is
scary, but what’s the root cause? (FRE 540)
• Perennials vs. Annuals economics differ• Taxes can also act like subsidies• Learn to hedge with a variety of instruments,
counter-parties • All ‘structured’ products can be broken down
into basic elements of swaps and options
