Abstract
Controlling negative impacts of Economic Development Plan, which is
expected to be approved by the Islamic Consultative Assembly, on economic
security of the agriculture sector is an essential task. Insuring agricultural
products could serve as a positive mechanism for the realization of such a target.
However, executive problems on the way of implementation of insurance have
prevented realization of an efficient insurance system. Results of this study,
which was conducted on basis of experiences gained through implementation of
insurance of agricultural products in different countries and on the outcome of
the performance of insurance systems in some regions, show that regulation of
the executive plan for implementation of insurance of agricultural products is
essential in some cases. Therefore, innovations have been offered in
implementing insurance of agricultural products.

Abstract
Investment in the Agricultural Sector is considered as special importance. Based
upon some reasons such as high risk of agricultural crops production, insufficient
investment in this sector is not conducted. Agricultural crops insurance is
considered as one of the most appropriate strategies for dealing with risk and
uncertainly in agricultural sector. In this study, effects of agricultural insurance on
agriculture sub-sector investment in of Khorasan Razavi province is discussed by
using multilevel modeling. To collect required data and information for this study,
two steps cluster sampling method is used. Required information is collected by
using interviews and questionnaires from 595 farmers in agricultural years 2013-
14. Results from estimation of four levels model showed that a part of investment
dissimilarities is related to placing the farmers at different levels (Climate, city
and insurance). The results also showed that factors such as loan, the insurance
year, the insured level, lead to significant and positive effect on investment and
type of available water source have significant and negative effect on investment.
According to this study, it is suggested that in order to achieve effective
agricultural crops insurance, offered insurance services should be considered
based on the climate type and each province cities.

Abstract
The Bushehr Province with an annual production of 45343 tons of total country`s production
is in third place in ranked. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functionally and technical
efficiency of agricultural insurance for growers in the province. Technical efficiency is one of
the measures to evaluate the operating performance of agriculture. This cross-sectional study
was conducted as a survey. The target population includes all tomato growers Bushehr province
by using cluster sampling from three counties of Dayyer, Dashti and Jam were collected in the
province. The utilization of Patton table to determine the sample size of 8,000 tomato growers
of Province, 367 people were in three counties of Dayyer, Dashti and Jam with 70, 57 and 65
tomatoes growers uninsured and the number 65, 50 and 60 tomatoes growers insured ,the collected information on the total sample were determined. The results showed that the average
technical efficiency of tomato farmers insurance group in counties of Jam, Dayyer, Dashti using
ordinary least squares corrected, respectively, 61.8, 44.2 and 41.4 percent and for group not insured respectively 60.5, 33.8 and 34.6 percent. The test results were compared and the average
technical efficiency of insured tomato growers in any county, showed that agricultural insurance
in counties of Dashti and Dayyer had a positive and significant effect on the technical efficiency
of growers, while uninsured growers has no significant technical efficiency on growers of Jam
county.

Abstract
Reduction of natural disasters in agricultural products and natural resources
managements are handled by risk management. Insurance of agricultural products is a tool of the management which is faced with less reluctant and tendencies by the ranchers of Kalaleh from Golestan province. In this regards, current
research was carried out using questionnaire’s method and monitoring approach
in the area. All Sample volume was calculated by Cochran formula and reliability of questions was obtained by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient which was 202
samples and 74.34percent, respectively. In order to determine the satisfaction
rate of the ranchers from product insurance to the effective factors, Ordinal logistic regression model was employed using SPSS v.22 software. The Results
showed that lack of satisfaction of the ranchers was due to some factors such as
lack of agricultural products’ insurance in the past, lack of damages compensation, lack of participation in training classes, natural condition of prefecture, the
age of rancher, and alfalfa seed allocation .The considerations with convergence
of four different pastoral and nomads peoples which are living in the area, there
is a needs to build different training classes for them for increasing their knowledge so to promote their interest toward acceptance of agricultural insurance.

Abstract
This study explores the integration of blockchain technology into agricultural insurance, aiming to address several challenges within the industry, including low farmer knowledge, high administrative costs, and a lack of trust among farmers in insurance institutions. Blockchain technology is positioned as a means to enhance transparency, efficiency, and trustworthiness, offering a decentralized solution that records transactions in an immutable manner, thereby redesigning insurance products to better meet farmer needs. The methodology of the study involved consulting 15 experts to assess potential indicators of blockchain’s role in agricultural insurance during the year 2024. Using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN), the synaptic weight of various blockchain features was calculated, highlighting their significance. The findings revealed that the most critical features included "Reducing Ethical Risks," "Accelerating Damage Claims," and "Transaction Transparency," with corresponding synaptic weights underscoring their importance in the development of agricultural insurance. Despite the promising potential of blockchain to revolutionize agricultural insurance processes, several challenges remain, such as scalability, energy use optimization, and regulatory concerns. The research emphasizes the importance of understanding how blockchain can create a safe, transparent, and efficient platform for processing agricultural insurance claims and suggests that smart contracts could facilitate immediate compensation for farmers’ losses. To fully realize the benefits of blockchain in agricultural insurance, ongoing research and development are necessary, particularly in enhancing interoperability and educating stakeholders about the technology's advantages. Overall, this research demonstrates blockchain’s significant potential in addressing agricultural insurance challenges while also calling for strategic actions to overcome existing barriers.
