Abstract

In order to explore farmers’ responses to the government’s guidance to develop policy forest insurance, 544 samples from six counties in western China are used to analyze the farmers’ participation willingness of forest insurance of non-commercial forest based on the method of logistic regression. The results show that respondents’ age, forest quality, willingness to invest in forestland, whether farmers have the intention of long-term operation for forestland and whether farmers learn about forest insurance policy have significant impacts on farmers’ participation willingness of forest insurance. Furthermore, the following three recommendations are proposed to increase the income of forestry and stimulate farmers to participate in forest insurance.
