Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Examining the effects of agricultural income insurance on farmers in Burkina Faso

Notes: Sumario: In this paper, we examine the effectiveness of income insurance as a tool to increase the financial resilience of smallholder farmers when faced with joint yield and price risks. We applied the optimisation method to national and regional data on maize yields and prices in Burkina Faso during the period 1995 to 2015. Our results show that income insurance generates significant risk reduction at a lower cost than other programmes such as index insurance or warrantage.Related records: En: Geneva papers on risk and insurance : issues and practice. - Geneva : The Geneva Association, 1976- = ISSN 1018-5895. - 01/07/2021 Volumen 46 Número 3 - julio 2021 , p. 422 - 439Materia / lugar / evento: Mercado de seguros Productos de seguros Seguros agrarios Cultivo agrícola Burkina Faso Other categories: 329.4
