Agriculture sector faces natural, social and economic risks resulting
from its production structure. One of the strategies to be used to
transfer such risks is agricultural insurance. It was aimed in the
present study to estimate the demand of farmers for cattle insurance
(CI) and determine the effective factors which can increase the share
of premium production of CI in total premium production of
agricultural insurance in TRA1 Region. Data were obtained from 122
farms determined using proportional sampling method in the
provinces of Erzurum, Erzincan and Bayburt (TRA1 Region) through
a questionnaire survey. Count Data Model was used in convenience
with the aim of the study. According to the results obtained, when
premium cost of CI increased 3 folds, then the number of animals
desired to be insured decreased by nearly 1-fold. In addition, when the
budget allocated for agricultural production and the probability of
animal disease both increased by 1%, the number of animals desired
to be insured increased by 1.56% and 0.61%, respectively.
