[26.07.2010 ] Efficiency of selected risk management instruments for agriculture in Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan’s agricultural sector plays an important role in the country's economy. Not only does it function as an economic output producer, it also serves as a social buffer in times of transition to a market economy. The restructuring process had a strong impact on the economic performance of agricultural enterprises. As the state no longer functions as a back-up financier in times of economic downturn, farmers have to find their own sustainable
instruments to manage business risks, which are significant in Kazakhstan due to the acute continental climate and the resulting revenue fluctuations.
