Case Study: Leading Dairy Cooperative achieves faster, comprehensive risk management with Eka

Dairy Cooperative Goes Live With Comprehensive Risk Solutions in Six Weeks on Eka’s Digital Commodity Management Platform

Leading Dairy Cooperative, a world-class dairy cooperative of about 1,500 farmers, was managing trading and execution in FC Stone but relied on multiple spreadsheets to track risk, including mark-to-market, hedges, open positions, and P&L. As market volatility increased and the business grew, they needed a more structured, integrated commodity risk management approach without replacing their existing trading system. Eka provided the digital commodity management platform and risk solution they needed.

Eka implemented a comprehensive commodity risk system using Position, Mark to Market, Procurement, and Risk and Monitoring applications. The cooperative went live in just six weeks and gained real-time, company-wide visibility into hedging positions, exposures, inventories, and P&L through custom reporting and dashboards. With Eka, the cooperative improved risk oversight and made better hedging decisions to minimize exposure.
