The liberalisation of the natural gas market and increasing energy prices lead to higher costs and income risks for operators in greenhouse production. Financial banks respond by offering customised derivatives for the natural gas market. For example, a derivative can consist of a fixed-price purchase contract. The exploratory study Customised commodity derivatives shows that for a greenhouse operator such derivatives can lead to lower costs with less fluctuation.
