Now that CS is no longer being compiled, it seems as if the potato season is over. But nothing is less true. The annual early settlement of the potato futures trade makes it particularly difficult for parties that have contracts that reach final settlement on the basis of the CS.

DCA offers an alternative
Now that this is no longer being compiled for this season, the question regularly arises: how to deal with the settlement of contracts that arrive at the final price through a CS?

The input from the participating countries for week 23 is as follows:

Belgium €10,25 (+0,62)
Germany €10,75 (-0,25)
France €10,25 (approx.)
Netherlands €12,75 (-0,14)
