Abstract

Abstract:

To avoid international trade dispute, the United States launched an agricultural accessory risk based on regional index, cumulative income protection plan (STAX), which could reduce the cost of investigation and personal moral hazard. At present, China faces multiple pressures, such as the adjustment of cotton support policy and the declining plantation willingness of cotton growers. If similar insurance like STAX was introduced in China, would farmers be willing to buy? To answer this question, we first analyzed the content of STAX, and then carried out a survey in cotton growers in Hebei Province, and adopted the Logit model to empirically study the farmers’ willingness to buy such insurance products. The results showed that, the premium and purchase of cotton insurance had significant (P<0.05) negative correlation with farmers’ willing to buy such insurance products. While, income from farming, the recognition of the role of insurance in stabilizing the income from farming and the purchase of insurance with the whole expected income as insurance subject by farmers’ relatives or neighbors had a significant (P<0.05) positive correlation with farmers’ willing to buy such insurance products. Based on these findings, it was suggested that the insurance products system should be improved and innovated. The guarantee level of insurance should be improved. And, the publicity of insurance knowledge should be strengthened to increase the farmers’ recognition toward agricultural insurance.

Key words: agricultural insurance, accessory risk, stacked income protection plan
