Risk attitudes of farmers in terms of risk aversion: A case study of lower SeyhanPlain farmers in Adana province,Turkey
Öz: Üreticilerin riske karşı gösterdikleri davranışı bilmek, onların özellikle kuraklık gibi riskle ilgili yönetsel kararlarını anlamda önemli bir yere sahiptir. Yapılan literatür çalışmasında, Türkiye'de üreticilerin riske karşı duyarlılıklarının bir göstergesi olan mutlak risk katsayıları ile ilgili herhangi bir çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Bu çalışma ile, Adana ili, Aşağı Seyhan Ovasında faaliyet gösteren üreticilerin mutlak risk katsayıları belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Üreticilerin kullanılan fonksiyonun tipine bağlı olarak mutlak risk katsayılarının derecesi değişmekle birlikte, büyük çoğunluğunun riske karşı duyarlı olduğu saptanmıştır. Hesaplanan 200 mutlak risk katsayısının 182'sinin risk-sevmeyen, geriye kalan 18'inin ise risk-seven bir yapı gösterdiği elde edilmiştir. Risk seven yapı gösteren 18 durumun 15'i Kübik fonksiyondan kaynaklanmıştır. Böylelikle, üreticilerin işletmelerinde riski azaltıcı yöndeki uygulamalara eğilimli olacakları ve iyi bir şekilde dizayn edilmiş bir sigorata programına ilgi duyacakları sonucuna varabiliriz.

Öz: Exploring the attitude of farmers toward risk is important in understanding their managerial decisions, especially given the exposure of farmers to risky events such as drought. However, a survey of the literature finds no study of the risk attitudes of farmers in Turkey. Therefore, this study examines the risk attitudes of farmers in the Lower Seyhan Plain of Turkey. While some variation by utility function exists in the classification of the sampled farmers into risk averse and risk preferring categories, the overwhelming evidence is that the sampled farmers are risk averse. One hundred eighty-two out of 200 estimated Arrow-Pratt risk coefficients imply a risk averse attitude. Thus, these farmers are likely to make managerial decisions that reduce risk, even if the decisions translate into lower income. A policy implication of this finding is that producers are likely to be interested in crop insurance.
