“…If we consider preliminary data from the Agricultural Census (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística -IBGE, 2017), which indicates the existence of approximately five million rural establishments in Brazil, we find that the portion of establishments using rural insurance is very limited. This low adoption of rural insurance could be explained by various factors, including the availability or continuity of government budget resources for this subsidized program (Medeiros, 2013;Santos, Sousa & Alvarenga, 2013) and high transaction costs due to information asymmetry and problems of adverse selection (Buainain & Vieira, 2011;Ozaki, 2007Ozaki, , 2008Ozaki, , 2010.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants of agricultural insurance adoption by farmers of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Design/methodology/approach Primary data from the 2015/2016 crop season was collected from a sample of 175 farmers. Logit econometric models were applied to identify the variables that affect the probability of agricultural insurance adoption. Findings The empirical results show that the education level, access to technical assistance, use of management tools and farm size positively affect the probability of adopting agricultural insurance. In addition, farmers who produce soybean and/or corn are more likely to use insurance. On the other hand, the higher the farmers’ propensity to take risk the lower the likelihood of using insurance. Research limitations/implications The empirical analysis is based on cross-sectional data of a sample of 175 farmers of the state of São Paulo. The use of panel data with a larger sample of farmers, considering a period of years, could provide additional information. Originality/value To the best of the knowledge, this is the first empirical analysis about determinants of agricultural insurance adoption by Brazilian farmers, considering behavioral factors. The findings provide useful insights for policymakers in formulating risk management programs in the Brazilian agricultural markets. A better understanding about the determinants of insurance adoption is also relevant for private companies that sell insurance to farmers. Therefore, the paper may contribute with the diffusion of rural insurance as risk management tool in Brazilian agriculture.

“…According to Medeiros (2013), the government extends the debts of rural credit producers in the absence of an agricultural insurance policy and in the presence of claims, which may reduce revenues and, consequently, productive investments. In general, a policy to promote the sector that does not incorporate the issue of insurance becomes ineffective in terms of its objectives, as well as burdening the public budget of the State.…”

“…The Brazilian agricultural sector has grown since the 1970s. According to Gasques et al (2012), Medeiros (2013) and Silva et al (2014), from 1970 to 2006, agricultural production increased more than the growth of the total area used for agriculture, which generated a strong productivity growth. Yield increased over time by a proportion of 10, while the harvested area only doubled (Note 1).…”

“…The management of risks inherent to production is essential to minimize losses and reduce losses related to adverse events. The main risk factors are due to climatic problems, incidence of pests, fires and even price volatility, which can be associated with market failures, such as imperfect competition, scarcity of credit, fluctuations in demand and technological aspects (Medeiros, 2013;Silva et al, 2014). These factors are capable of reducing investment in the sector, causing the displacement of financial resources to other less risky activities.…”

The present work aims to analyze the impact of a government subsidy program of rural insurance in Brazil, (called the Programa de Subvenção ao Prêmio de Seguro Rural - PSR), on the productivity of insured producers in the MATOPIBA region of the country, which encompasses four Brazilian states, Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia, between the years 2008 to 2019. For this, municipalities were selected that had at least one insured producer throughout the analyzed period. The variables used were the number of producers, the number of insurance policies, the planted area, the productivity obtained and the insured financial amount of the producers. The methodological procedure was based on Auto-regressive Vectors (VAR) for panel data. The results showed a concentration, of all the variables used in the research, in the state of Bahia, mainly in the municipalities of Formosa do Rio Preto and São Desidério, whose main economic activity is soy production. It was also found that the impulse response functions on productivity obtained through a shock in the other variables, except the planted area variable, the others showed positive initial (short-term) responses until the second year. The average time for responses to smooth over time occurs from the sixth year onwards.

“…A agropecuária também se encontra submetida aos riscos de produção, que decorrem de problemas climáticos, pragas, doenças e preços, bem como aos riscos tecnológicos e àqueles oriundos de oscilações na demanda. Entre as principais estratégias de gerenciamento na agricultura, destaca-se a mitigação dos riscos climáticos, considerados os mais danosos à atividade (Medeiros, 2013;Brasil, 2019). O seguro é um dos mecanismos mais eficazes para a transferência dos riscos para outros agentes econômicos, substituindo uma despesa futura e incerta por um custo antecipado e certo, com valor relativamente inferior (Ozaki, 2008).…”

Este trabalho busca verificar se a produção de trigo expandiu-se para outras regiões, além da região Sul, de forma a tornar o país autossuficiente na oferta do produto. Ainda que o trigo seja o segundo cereal mais produzido no mundo, sua produção é distribuída regionalmente de forma desigual. No caso brasileiro, o país, historicamente, recorre às importações para satisfazer o atendimento da demanda interna. Com a produção concentrada no Sul, a oferta produzida nacionalmente atende à metade do consumo doméstico, e, por esse motivo, o suprimento nacional de produtos derivados está submetido às oscilações de preços internacionais e do câmbio, bem como da disponibilidade da matéria-prima em outros mercados. Este estudo descreve a evolução e o potencial da produção de trigo no Brasil, identificando as políticas que fomentaram o cultivo e as ações que dinamizaram a cadeia produtiva. Ademais, mostra-se a influência da pesquisa e do desenvolvimento no aumento da produtividade e, principalmente, da qualidade do trigo nacional. Por meio da utilização de medidas de localização e especialização, identificou-se que, a partir de 2010, os estados de São Paulo e Minas Gerais elevaram a produção de trigo na região Sudeste, em um movimento de reestruturação e reorganização regional produtiva. Essa restruturação é baseada em ciência e tecnologia, combinadas com a pressão de demanda doméstica pelo produto.
