“…Peng et al. ( 2021 ) estimated the influence of risk perceptions and disaster shocks on farmers’ willingness to purchase insurance, with results suggesting that farmers’ general willingness to purchase crop insurance is low. However, due to perceptions about increased risk and disaster shocks, farmers’ willingness to purchase crop insurance increased.…”

Parameters that Motivate Table Olive Farmers To Buy Agricultural Insurance: The Case of Western Turkey

Defining components that affect agricultural insurance contract decisions is indispensable to the sustainability of table olive cultivation in the region. The Akhisar district is located within the borders of Manisa province, a region in Turkey in which traditional, and the most famous, table olive varieties are grown. This study explores parameters that predict the decisions of farmers in this district to purchase agricultural insurance and identifies perceptions of agricultural insurance in the region. A survey was conducted among 121 purposefully selected farmers. Some farmers’ sociodemographic characteristics and their households were identified using basic descriptive statistics, such as arithmetic means and percentage rates, and factors that affect farmers’ decisions to buy agricultural insurance were defined using binary logistic regression. Although table olive farmers could insure their products against risk by buying full hail and frost packages within the scope of crop insurance, the desired success with agricultural insurance has not been achieved. Although the agricultural insurance that covers farmers who grow table olives remains insufficient, it still plays a role in patterns of agricultural production in the region, results in greater income than other agricultural products, and contributes to the government’s premiums for agricultural insurance. Future studies should expand insurance practices to improve farmers’ perceptions of agricultural insurance, especially regarding drought yield insurance for perennial fruit trees, including table olives.

“…Signaling theory provides a robust framework to explain how agricultural insurance can act as a positive signal, influencing consumer confidence in food safety. From this theoretical perspective, agricultural insurance is not only a risk management tool but also an information transmission mechanism, conveying to the market the agricultural producers’ commitment and assurance toward food safety ( 48 ). Consumer confidence in food originates from trust in the safety of food, which is based on understanding the food production and processing procedures and awareness of food quality control standards.…”

In the exploration of the efficacy of agricultural subsidy policies, agricultural insurance, as a key element of this policy system, has garnered widespread attention for its potential impact on consumer food safety. This paper delves into the influence of agricultural insurance on the safety of food consumed by individuals, based on provincial panel data in China from 2011 to 2021. The findings indicate that agricultural insurance significantly reduces the incidence of foodborne disease and enhances food safety. Mediating effect tests reveal that agricultural insurance effectively boosts food safety through two key pathways: promoting innovation in agricultural technology and reducing environmental pollution. Moreover, the analysis of moderating effects highlights that increased consumer confidence positively enhances the impact of agricultural insurance. Heterogeneity tests further show that in the provinces with higher levels of agricultural development and stronger government support for agriculture, the role of agricultural insurance in improving food safety is more pronounced. This research not only empirically verifies the effectiveness of agricultural insurance in enhancing food safety but also provides robust theoretical support and practical guidance for the precise formulation and effective implementation of agricultural subsidy policies, particularly agricultural insurance policies, offering significant reference value for policy-makers.

“…Based on the characteristics of farmers and the technical and risk analysis of photovoltaic mode, the perception characteristics of farmers must also be considered (Alam et al, 2011). Many studies have incorporated the technology acceptance model (TAM) 6 into the research of farmers' willingness (Broman et al, 2014;Zhou and Abdullah, 2017;Peng et al, 2021), and concluded that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use play an important role. At the same time, many studies have shown that farmers' perceived risk is an important factor affecting their willingness to accept green technology (Wang et al, 2019;Arning et al, 2020), and for different technological products, perceived risk plays different roles .…”

Facing the promise of “carbon neutrality” and “carbon peak”, China’s vast rural areas will be the main front of energy conservation and emission reduction in the future. From the perspective of social capital, this paper combined TAM and perceived risk theory to construct a hypothesis model. Based on 617 rural survey data, structural equation model was used to reveal the influencing factors of the willingness to adopt residential rooftop PV products in rural China. The results show that: 1) social network has a significant impact on the willingness of villagers to adopt rooftop PV products. 2) Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and perceived risk play multiple mediating roles. 3) The parallel mediating effect of villagers’ perceived risk on the relationship between social network and adoption intention is much higher than the other two paths. 4) The chain mediating effect of perceived risk and perceived ease of use on the relationship between social network and villagers’ adoption intention is much higher than the other two paths. This study provides rich policy implications for rural renewable energy promotion and energy transition in China and other developing countries.
