      abstract = {Since 2003 crop insurance programs have become the focus  of agricultural policy
in Brazil. Given the increasing  interest in insurance, accurate calculation of  premium
values has great importance. We address the revenue  distribution issue and its implication
by pricing a new  Brazilian insurance contract, considering the skew-normal  distribution
of probability of revenue data from the  western region of Paraná State (Brazil). Results
show that  insurers (empirical) rates tend to underestimate the risk  by lower coverage levels
(50% and 60%). At 70% of coverage  level, the ER and SN rates seem the same on average.
The  estimated insured cash flows for 2006/2007 to  2010/2011crops, by coverage level, were positive for all  seasons, indicating that agricultural operations with  insurance can generate positive return for
insurers,  presenting as viable modality for insurance activity.},
