Abstract
The increase in factors that seriously affect access to food, such as the decrease in the labor market dealing with agricultural activities, the increase in the population and the decrease in the agricultural areas where production can be made, makes the issue of continuing the production of basic food sources important. In this purpose, it is needed to take precautions for the farmers, who assume the main role of agricultural production, to continue their production and to feel safe against the risks arising from production. Therefore, it is important to present insurance policies that can reduce the impact of environmental risks that directly affect production. In this study, crop yield insurance, which is an important insurance application used in agricultural insurance, is explained. Premium rates for yield insurance were obtained by using wheat yield data for the years 1991-2021 belonging to the provinces of Cihanbeyli, Çorlu and Polatlı, which are among the top cities in wheat production for Turkey. Normal, beta and non-parametric Gaussian kernel distributions were used for wheat yield data.
