Abstract:
Crop insurance (CI) is the most important mechanism for protecting farmers from agricultural losses. This study evaluated a measurement model for assessing farmer satisfaction through CI. The index is based on the ACSI, which has been modified to meet the needs of the present study. A multistage, stratified random sample of farmers from Haryana state is used to test its validity. The measurement model designated that the theoretical creates is reliable and valid, even as the partial least squares structural equation model demonstrates a fine model fit. Farmers' satisfaction levels were found to be most influenced by the perceived quality, perceived value, and willingness to pay for CI. The present research also confirms that purchaser satisfaction is the main essential factor in determining farmer loyalty. The findings of this study advocate that government and implementing agencies can discover the reason for acceptance along with the rejection of CI.
