Agricultural Insurance in Palestine: Current Conditions and Recommendations for Future Policy

Submitted by معهد ماس on Sat, 10/13/2012 - 13:36

This study investigates key aspects of the agricultural production system and proposes an insurance system to fit the Palestinian case. The subjects covered are broadly divided into three. Each section is called a ‘map’. The ‘Map of Agricultural production’ which includes investment, production costs, expected returns and the structure of production units (horticultural and livestock); The ‘Map of Agricultural Risks’ which looks at market, natural and farming risks impacting agricultural production; and finally, The ‘Map of Agricultural Losses’ focuses on losses due to a decrease in productivity and a drop in sales and returns. The study fuses information about these three subject areas, results of questionnaires, and interviews with farmers, particularly about perceived risk of agricultural insurance programs in order to find the most appropriate insurance system for the occupied Palestinian Territories.
