Abstract
Henan Province is situated in the eastern Central Region of China, and at the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. It is one of China’s most essential bases for grain production and agricultural product processing. It is also an important modern integrated transportation hub of China. Being an important logistics province in the Central Region, Henan’s logistics industry has been developing rapidly in recent years. It has formed its own logistics pattern by developing Zhengzhou as the center with the support of surrounding logistics nodal cities.

Hedging is a transfer of risk without buying insurance policies. It may be done through various techniques but, basically, involves taking equal and opposite positions in two different markets (such as cash and futures markets). Hedging is used also in protecting one's capital against the effects of inflation through investing in high-yield financial instruments (bonds, notes, and shares), real estate, or precious metals.
