RISCHIO DI MERCATO E INCOME STABILISATION TOOL

Today, in addition to production risk, market risk poses the greatest threat to the stability of farmers' incomes. In order to respond more quickly to possible crisis situations, the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council provides for the introduction of a tool (IST) on support of farm income. While on the one hand the success of this tool among farmers depends on the degree of public participation in the financing, on the other hand, its validity and effectiveness is conditioned by the availability of timely and systematic accounting data at the firm level and the evaluation and following due consideration of the various production techniques, adopted on the basis of the different soil and climate conditions.
