| Research Abstract |
We carried out a survey of farmers’ risk perception and demand for new agricultural insurance products. Our analysis proved that, i) Many farmers are aware that there is a certain relation between their personal yields and area-based yields, ii) The number of farmers who need some farm income stabilization programs is increasing, iii) 60% of farmers are interested in the area-based index insurance which provides higher coverage at a reasonable premium, and the revenue insurance which covers severe revenue losses from a combination of low yield and low price.
