    Rapeseed Pricing Methodology

    (June, 2011)
    Summary

    Rapeseed is not traded on any commodity futures exchange. With the design of the 2011 Common Crop Insurance Policy Basic Provisions (Basic Provisions) it is necessary to calculate a price in real time based on a commodity futures exchange. Risk Management Agency’s (RMA) authority to derive this factor is found in the Commodity Exchange Price Provisions (CEPP) which utilizes an exchange price multiplied by a factor “as determined by RMA” to establish the rapeseed prices. This paper is to inform stakeholders regarding the methodology used to derive this factor.
