Agriculture is always posing challenges to the farmers, since most of crop cultivation is being done under open condition rather than under protected condition. There all always risks affecting crop production anywhere. Among the three crop production risks, the share of inherited risk is 30 percent; it is 30 percent for transferable risk; for risks that can be minimized with the introduction of technologies is 40 percent.

The inherited risks like soil salinity and soil sodicity can be reduced through land improvement. Crop insurance, wherever available, can reduce the transferable risk. Risks due to introduction of production technologies can be reduced effectively by taking farm decisions based on weather forecast. In this context, weather forecast in agriculture and formulation of agro-advisory are very important to reduce the crop production risks systematically in an effective way.
