March 2, 2022 (Chicago, IL) – Stable announces the launch of organic grain and oilseed hedging capabilities, utilizing prices published by Mercaris. The unique combination of Stable’s price risk management tools and Mercaris’ organic and non-GMO indices will allow producers and consumers of organic corn and soybeans to protect their businesses against volatile price movements for the first time in history.

Stable is a global commodity price risk management platform operating across 7,000+ agricultural markets, with contracts backed by A-rated reinsurers.

“As a farmer's son myself, I know first-hand how important managing price risk can be. We’re delighted to be able to bring this game-changing risk management capability to the organic grain and oilseed markets to help businesses invest in the future with confidence.”
Richard Counsell, Founder & CEO of Stable USA Inc.
