CHANGES IN RISK PERCEPTION DEMONSTRATED BY POLISH FARMERS FROM COMMERCIAL FARMS IN THE PERIOD 2011-2017

Abstract

In the paper some changes in farmers’ risk perception has been analyzed. The study is based on data collected from almost 600 farms in 2011 and 2017. The analysis revealed that in the period 2011-2017 farmers’ risk aversion slightly declined. The results shown that drought and prices volatility are perceived by farmers as the main factors of risk in agricultural production in Poland. However a decrease in the significance of most risk factors (except drought) can be also observed. The results of the study suggest that the potential of development of current insurance scheme in Poland is rather limited.<br/><br/>
