Agriculture has always been among the most risky economic activities.   Each
year natural disasters as well as pests and plant diseases impose heavy damage
on the farmers.   Crop insurance is one of the new strategies for coping with
risks in agricultural activities and reducing farmers income fluctuations;
because through its use both further security would be provided for agricultural
producers and better conditions for attracting private investments in the
agriculture sector.   In this research, by using simple random sampling, a total
of 80 questionnaires and interviews in the year 1391 (2012) were conducted
in the city of Mahvalat City in Razavi Khorasan province.   Factors effective
in acceptance for insuring pistachio growers were also studied through SPSS
software and Logit Model.   Result show that variables such as age, level of
experience, areas under cultivation, production variety, contact level with
insurance experts and officials, have significant effect on accepting pistachio
insurance.
