Determinants of Voluntary Insurance in Agriculture

Summary/Abstract: Climate change is a serious threat to the safety of farms’ income. One of the key instruments in ensuring stabilization of farmers’ income is an agriculture insurance. The study aims to analyze determinants of joining the system of a voluntary agricultural insurance. The examination builds upon primary data collected by means of a questionnaire among 256 farmers in the Middle Pomerania region. Logistic regression was employed to test an impact of 18 quantitative and qualitative variables on the probability to join the voluntary agricultural insurance. The results show that the probability of agricultural insurance being used is positively influenced by (a) (higher) class of soil in a farm, (b) (larger) volume of the farm’s fixed assets, (c) occurrence of past damage and (d) (lower) cost of the voluntary insurance.
