Few industries are more competitive or volatile than ammonia or fertilizers.
From the very unstable pricing found in the markets for raw materials
to the ebb and flow of market demand
for finished products, producers can face enormous challenges in
maintaining profit margins and cash flows.
Now there's help. For many years, Enron has been helping producers like
you neutralize the risk of price volatility both upstream and downstream,
using financial price management tools we pioneered more than a decade
ago for the energy industry. Because Enron is a major trader of many
commodities around the world, we're intimately familiar with the risks you
face and are uniquely positioned to help you mitigate them.
Enron can also make it easier for you to trade the commodities you buy and
sell, using EnronOnline, our Internet-based, global transaction system
for commodities that allows you to view real-time prices and transact
instantly online. EnronOnline posts bid and offer prices for over 1,500
global commodity products as well as complimentary weather, news and
market information. In addition, it allows you to view full contractual terms
and available volumes for products.
Finally, we can leverage, in your market, our position as the largest
wholesaler of natural gas and electricity in North America.
For example, we can structure
cross-commodity transactions that link your electricity or natural gas bills to
the price of the goods you produce. In this type of transaction, you would
pay more for energy when your product prices are high and you can best
afford it, and less when your product prices are low and your cash flows are
constrained.
