Agricultural Insurance

Agriculture is characterised by a high level of risk. It is influenced by various seasonal conditions, the effects of which are almost impossible to control.

Agricultural insurance provides partial or full compensation for crop losses due to unexpected weather conditions, fire or other events.

There are several approaches that can mitigate the impact of risks.

These approaches can be divided into two groups:

• actions and tools that the farmer uses to prevent or minimise risks. In this case, the farmer controls them independently.
• strategies of risk transfer from the farmer to the insurer.

Insurance is the most popular strategy of comprehensive or partial risk transfer.
