“…The results show that in most cases, men still lead when it comes to hard labour in some cases. A similar study carried out by Samah ( 2010 ) showed that, in agriculture, women are said to have a negative attitude towards agricultural contracts compared to men.…”

The main reason cited for the low participation rate in indexed insurance in Africa is the lack of farmers’ involvement in the initial conception. The main aim of this article was, therefore, to design an improved participatory methodology that would help farmers in South Africa gather information on the value they place in new crop insurance initiatives based on weather indices. The main objective of this study was to determine their willingness to pay (WTP) crop insurance in the Eastern Cape. The study adopted a cross-sectional design, and the respondents were selected by using a probability sampling procedure. A sample of 150 respondents was selected. The results from descriptive statistics showed that 62% of the smallholder irrigation scheme farmers were between 52 and above years of age, male and female: 87% and 13%, respectively. The results from the probit model revealed that out of nine variables included in the model, only four namely, logAge square, gender, marital status and age were significantly influencing the WTP index-based crop insurance at 1%, 5% and 10%, respectively. However, age was found to reduce the chances of participating in crop-based insurance. A large proportion of those who were willing to pay insurance had not previously experienced losses because of natural hazards. Therefore, it recommended that the government should use existing extension officers to educate the farmers and promote the importance and benefits of insurance products. Contribution The results are expected to contribute to the local government to improve disaster resilience through strengthening regional financial funding.

“…This Bai Salam agreement is similar to contract farming in which an agent provides credit inputs and technical advices to the farmers, as well as purchases the harvests with advance contract in terms of the amount and price of the commodities being produced by the farmers. This contract farming has been practiced all over the world such as in Turkey, Costa Rica, Vietnam, Malaysia (Tadlidil & Aktürk, 2004;Sáenz-Segura, 2006;Setboonsarng, 2008;Saigenji & Zeller, 2009;Samah et al, 2010;Shaffril et al, 2010;.…”

The greatest advance made by mankind was probably the agricultural revolution that has been developed into agricultural development along with population growth in the forms of agricultural expansion and agricultural intensification. The global land grab driven by the acquisition of land has caused radical changes in the use and ownership of land and has important implications for equitable and sustainable development in which local people have been moved to marginal locations. To ensure that the agricultural activities are sustained, a balance of three concepts of people, planet, and profit (3P) are critical to achieve long term social, environmental, and economic issues. One of recently popular instruments to fairly treat the people is an equity based Sukuk in which profit will be shared based on pre-agreed ratio between the investors and the people involved. In term of conservation of planet, strategy in selecting the agricultural commodities and the timing of harvesting are critical. An investment decision-making process by using agricultural appraisal process is established to ensure that the agricultural activities are financially profitable.
