Agriculture sector faces risks caused by natural damagingevents. So, it is necessary to predict, counteract andmitigate the risks of agricultural activities to increase investmentsecurity, to identify risks and to practice risk managementmethods, in which insurance has a special niche as a risk counteractionand a mitigation measure. The objective of this studywas to study the role of insurance in risk management ofbroiler farms in the Rudbar County in Guilan Province in2016. The statistical population was composed of 121 broilerchicken farms that were active in Rubdar County. This study, done in 2013-2015, out of which 55 farms were selected as thesample according to Bartlett Table. Data were collected by interviewand a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed bya panel of experts and whose reliability was estimated to be73% by Cronbach’ s alpha. Results of stepwise regressionshowed that the main production parts affected by risk factorsincluded hygiene and control(0. 279), technical factors, includingventilation and temperature (-0. 313), nutrition (-0. 366), diseaseprevention (-0. 273), chicken hatching capacity (0. 398) and insurance(-0. 339). Results of the test of variable correlationsshowed a negative, significant relationship of dependent variable(risk management) with hatching capacity, hygiene factors, technical factors, nutrition, disease prevention, and insurance. Also, risk management was found to have no relationship withfarm managers’ age and farming experience.
