Summary/Abstract: Crop production is one of the primary sectors of agriculture, playing a key role in ensuring food supply, raw materials, and export potential for many economies. Despite its significance, this sector is highly susceptible to various risks that can have severe economic consequences for farmers, regions, and nations. These risks stem from the complex interplay between natural factors, economic conditions, and management decisions. Major challenges include climate change, fluctuations in production and resource prices, market instability, and biological risks such as diseases and pests. Simultaneously, globalization and technological innovations present new opportunities but also introduce additional uncertainties for crop producers.
