Instead, Options Trading is also performed by all Industries like Airlines, Manufacturing Industries, Farmers, Services Industries, etc. Industries face volatility in the prices of the materials essential for their operations. Such materials need to be either purchased by the Industries or sold by the Industries. A rise in the prices of the material required to be purchased and a fall in the prices of the material to be sold can severely impact the bottom line of the Industries. For example, the Farmer faces situations where the Farmer holds a large amount of produce from the farms and fears that the price of the produce may fall in the markets. To protect from such losses, the Farmers perform trades in options to profit from the options, offsetting the loss from the markets.
