Zusammenfassung
The natural catastrophes lead to severe losses for agricultural production and decrease of farmers’ income. These problems are especially important for poor and underdeveloped countries, which also face huge disasters like hurricanes, droughts, floods and earthquakes. Classical mechanisms of insurance may not be sufficient or not enough developed in these countries. In this paper we discuss an integrated catastrophic risk management model, which consists of a few layers of insurance and financial instruments.
