What does Revenue Protection (RP) primarily guard against?

Loss of crop due to pests
Loss of revenue caused by yield or price, or both
Loss due to weather events
Loss of soil fertility

The correct answer is: Loss of revenue caused by yield or price, or both

Revenue Protection (RP) is designed to safeguard against the loss of revenue that can occur due to changes in either crop yield or the price of the crop, or a combination of both. This form of insurance is especially relevant in situations where farmers might experience a decrease in yield due to various factors, such as adverse weather conditions, pests, or disease. Additionally, fluctuations in market prices can also impact revenue, as even a good yield may not compensate for low prices, or vice versa. By providing coverage based on the guaranteed revenue rather than just yield or price independently, RP enables farmers to manage their financial risks more effectively. It helps them secure their income, ensuring they can maintain financial stability despite the uncertainties of farming, which may include biological, environmental, and economic factors. This focus on revenue rather than just crop loss makes RP a comprehensive tool for risk management, thus helping farmers make more informed decisions about planting, inputs, and sales strategies while navigating unpredictable variables in agriculture.
