The agriculture is the basic industry of national economy, and as it has the characteristic of feebleness, its development requires the safeguard and support of many kinds of mechanisms. The agricultural insurance has a great significance for avoiding the risk during agricultural production and promoting the rural economy. But at present the demand and supplies of the agricultural insurance are both dispirited, and the status quo of development is not very atisfactory in China. Therefore, develop Chinese agricultural insurance is significant and urgent all the time. Although Chinese government has done a lot of innovations and experiments in some places, the agricultural insurance market is still dead-alive in China. This thesis constructs the research from the point of the present situation of the agricultural insurance, studies and compares the data of agricultural insurance modes in Shanghai, Xinjiang and Heilongjiang in the way of using the real diagnosis, thus to propose the new viewpoint on the mode of the agricultural insurance’s present stage which is used to anticipate the future of the agricultural insurance in the end.

The primary objective of this dissertation was to seek an answer to the question of how agricultural insurance can potentially be an effective and efficient coping mechanism so that the poorest of the poor in isolated rural areas can avoid falling into the poverty trap amid rising global natural disasters in the most exposed region of East Asia and the Pacific. Observations in the field were conducted to investigate the disaster experiences and characterization, coping strategies, but the main focus was on farmer experience on agricultural insurance in two types of elevation (lowland and upland) and program implementation of the insurance providers in the developed country of Japan and the Philippines as a representation of the developing world. / 博士(現代アジア研究) / Doctor of Philosophy in Contemporary Asian Studies / 同志社大学 / Doshisha University

This thesis deals with risks threatening agricultural activity, with agricultural insurance and with state aid to agricultural insurance in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, it describes history and development of agricultural insurance in the Czech Republic. Under this chapter is explored dependence of the premium on selected factors. The attention is also paid to agricultural insurance schemes in 16 selected countries of the world. Consequently, there are proposed possible suggestions of improvement of current agricultural insurance system in the Czech Republic with regard to foreign practice. The supply of crop insurance including a practical example of farmer using crop insurance in his risk management is concisely described in the end of the thesis.

No Brasil, existe a necessidade de um maior investimento na análise dos riscos climáticos para a precificação do seguro agrícola, para que seja mais amplo e de melhor acesso por parte dos produtores. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar se, na análise do uso do balanço hídrico e da ocorrência dos veranicos, há correlação entre perdas históricas e os sinistros ocorridos em uma região e, também, com a estimativa de perda na safra corrente, permitindo com isso uma melhor análise dos riscos climáticos para o mercado segurador e para os produtores terem uma melhor ferramenta de gestão dos seus riscos. Esse trabalho foi elaborado com base nos dados históricos de seguro da cultura soja fornecidos pela Cia. de Seguros Aliança do Brasil, dados de produção do IBGE, situação de plantio e colheita da SEAB - PR e dados meteorológicos fornecidos pelo Agritempo - EMBRAPA/UNICAMP. Os municípios utilizados foram escolhidos pela representatividade na produção da soja no Estado do Paraná e diversidade climática entre eles. Foram correlacionados os dados de veranicos com os sinistros ocorridos, bem como calculados os Balanços Hídricos decendiais e diários da cultura e também correlacionados com as sinistralidades ocorridas. Verificou-se que, para a análise de risco do seguro da cultura da soja, as probabilidades de ocorrências de veranicos entre 6 e 11 dias são os que têm melhor correlação com os sinistros. Além disso, com a análise de perda potencial obtida através do Balanço Hídrico Diário da cultura, pode-se observar os períodos responsáveis pelas quedas de produção que influenciam os avisos de sinistros em cada município. A análise das probabilidades de ocorrência de veranicos junto com a análise da perda potencial da produção da cultura da soja, nos municípios estudados, mostrou-se como boa ferramenta para a análise do risco de ocorrências de sinistros por seca. Isto permitiu a elaboração de uma metodologia para análise de risco climático tanto para os produtores planejarem melhor o plantio, através da escolha de variedades e datas mais adequadas de plantio, quanto para as empresas seguradoras terem sustentação para poderem calcular mais eficientemente seus riscos e suas taxas / Abstract: Crop Insurance is one of the ways used around the world to minimize financial impacts to farmers caused by extreme weather events. In Brazil, it is necessary a greater investment in climate risk management to development rates, to expand and improve access to insurance market by producers. The aim of this study was to verify by analysis, the use of water balance associated with the probability of dry periods has a correlation between historical losses and claims incurred and also with the estimated loss in the current season, thus allowing a better analysis of climate risks to the insurance market for producers and provide a robust tool for managing their risk of loss of production. This work was based on historical data base of soybean crop insurance provided from Companhia de Seguros Aliança do Brasil, crop yield data from IBGE, context of planting and harvesting of SEAB - PR and meteorological data provided by Agritempo - EMBRAPA/UNICAMP. The cities studied were chosen for representation in soybean production in Paraná and climatic diversity among them. Data were correlated with dry spells for claims incurred and calculated daily water balance method decennial and culture and also correlated with the claim occurred. It was found that for the analysis of insurance risk of soybean, the probabilities of occurrence of dry spells between 6 and 11 days are those with the best correlation with the claims. Furthermore, the analysis of loss potential obtained from daily water balance of the crops can be observed responsible periods for yield decrease that have influenced the notices of claims in each county. Analysis of the likelihood of droughts along with analysis of the potential loss of soybean production in the counties studied, proved to be a good tool for analyzing the risk of claim by drought. This allowed the elaboration of climate risk methodology analysis to producers plan better by choosing the planting of more suitable varieties and dates of planting more appropriate, and to support the insurance companies have to be able to more efficiently calculate their risks and charges / Mestrado / Planejamento e Desenvolvimento Rural Sustentável / Mestre em Engenharia Agrícola
