ICBC(SH:601398) Zheng Quan Ri Bao Zhi Sheng·2025-08-08 11:43Core Viewpoint - The launch of the "Temperature Index Derivatives + Meteorological Index" pilot project in Wanyuan City aims to provide effective risk management tools for tea farmers against high-temperature weather events, enhancing their resilience and financial security [1][2]. Group 1: Project Overview - The project is a collaboration between Guotou Futures Co., Ltd. and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, initiated under the guidance of the Dalian Commodity Exchange [1]. - The temperature index derivatives are designed to quantify high-temperature risks into a transparent numerical curve, allowing tea farmers to hedge against these risks [1][2]. Group 2: Financial Mechanisms - Guotou Futures has created an off-market derivative product linked to the Dalian Commodity Exchange's temperature index for the Chengdu area, which triggers compensation if the temperature exceeds 33°C at 2 PM [2]. - The project includes a meteorological index insurance covering 10,000 acres of tea plantations, with a total premium of 990,000 yuan, of which 792,000 yuan is donated by ICBC [2]. Group 3: Risk Management Synergy - The combination of temperature index derivatives and meteorological index insurance creates a complementary relationship, providing flexibility and precision in risk management for tea farmers [2][3]. - This dual insurance model is described as a "double-layer heat armor" for tea gardens, effectively addressing both systemic and localized climate risks [3].
