Liberalisation of agricultural markets and reduction of agricultural markets protective schemes have increased the risks faced by farmers. Furthermore, new quality and stricter food safety requirements will increase the risks that agricultural production will encounter, especially in smallholdings like those prevailing in Greece. The new uncertain environment affects income variability and requires complementary measures to stabilize and safeguard farm income. Until now, the EU’s policies in the framework of CAP have had a major role in lessening the risks and securing a minimum level of income. The ongoing Common Agricultural Policy reforms should be accompanied by risk reducing schemes. Thus, a deep understanding of risk and risk management tools will assist policymakers in assessing the effectiveness of different types of risk protection tools. The main objective of this paper is to provide an introduction to income insurance in agriculture, by considering either yield or gross revenue protection for two main Mediterranean agricultural products, tobacco and cotton. A Monte Carlo simulation model will be used to illustrate the effect of such revenue insurance schemes on the stability of the individual farmer’s income. Finally, we discuss the effectiveness of an income insurance scheme and the need for further research on income risk management tools.
