Risk management strategies are of increasing importance in agriculture. An important question is what type of risk management strategies are required to reduce farmers’ income risks ? Applying a variance decomposition approach using data from more than 3,000 Swiss farms over a five-year period, this paper quantifies the direct and indirect effects of yields, prices and costs on net revenue variability at the farm level. We find that costs play only a minor role in determining income variability, but price and yield risks are of outmost importance and very crop-specific. For instance, price risks dominate for conventional wheat and sugar beet producers ; while corn and barley producers tend to suffer more from production risks. Group compari...
