What type of insurance provides a fixed revenue guarantee based on early commodity prices for crops?

• A. Revenue Protection Insurance
• B. Income Protection (Crop Insurance)
• C. Crop Yield Insurance
• D. Farmers' Market Insurance

Answer: (B)

The type of insurance that provides a fixed revenue guarantee based on early commodity prices for crops is Income Protection (Crop Insurance). This form of insurance ensures that farmers receive a certain level of income based on crop prices set at the beginning of the growing season, thus safeguarding their revenue against significant price drops or poor yields. This is particularly beneficial for farmers as it allows them to plan and operate with more financial security, knowing that their revenue will be protected against market fluctuations.

While Revenue Protection Insurance also relates to revenue guarantees, it typically considers both yield and market price, sometimes contributing complexity that may not be suitable for all farmers. Crop Yield Insurance focuses specifically on the quantity of crop produced rather than guaranteeing income. Farmers' Market Insurance is a type of liability coverage that protects farmers selling directly to consumers but does not provide revenue guarantees related to commodity prices.
