You can hedge to fix that problem, if you are so inclined.

Hedging might fix small amounts of temporary deflation, but it isn't going to fix the fundamental problem of not being able to recoup the initial investment in materials.

The only way to fix this would be to require payment before manufacturing the goods so there isn't a time lag.
