Abstrakty

EN

The agricultural sector is highly affected by the weather conditions and losses will likely increase in the future as natural disasters become more frequent (IPCC, 2012). There are a number of tools available in agricultural risk management; in this article we review agricultural insurance schemes of several OECD countries with special attention to the role of the government and the promotion of risk reduction and good agricultural practices. At the end we conclude that while public involvement can significantly increase penetration; the lack of self-efficacy is still a major challenge in many systems, which countries are addressing in different ways. The new Hungarian system could potentially become an example of successful public-private partnership that addresses the self-efficacy problem in an efficient way.

Na sektor rolny bardzo duży wpływ mają warunki atmosferyczne, straty prawdopodobnie wzrosną w przyszłości, jako że katastrofy naturalne stają się coraz częstsze (IPCC, 2012). Istnieje wiele dostępnych narzędzi zarządzania ryzykiem w rolnictwie, w tym artykule dokonujemy przeglądu systemów ubezpieczeń rolnych kilku krajach OECD, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem roli rządu i promocji redukcji ryzyka i dobrych praktyk rolniczych. Na zakończenie dochodzimy do wniosku, że o ile zaangażowanie społeczne może znacznie zwiększyć przenikanie, brak własnej skuteczności jest wciąż głównym wyzwaniem w wielu systemach, które kraje adresują na wiele sposobów. Nowy węgierski system może potencjalnie stać się przykładem udanego partnerstwa publiczno-prywatnego, które dotyczy problemu własnej skuteczności w efektywny sposób.
