[QUOTE="Hindsight, post: 4807108, member: 3169"] OK. Not wishing to pick a fight so am not having a go but just saying as an alternative that a potato grower to an extent elects to take a potential 10 fold year on year price risk as they can elect for contract prices for all or part of their production. The risk versus reward is an individual growers choice. Chip shop frying sector probably the last sector where contracts being introduced. I appreciate the faults with contracts but on balance they are there. I seem to recall the PMB denaturing buying in price was never that special, barely if at all covered growing costs and was quite happily seen away by spud men in the 1980's. Potatoes have a classic elasticity of supply relationship and thus variable price profile. Anyway as last year when prices high there will be a wide range of individual business performance this year as well. [/QUOTE]
