Abstract
- Uncertainty is the natural state in which farmers make decisions. This paper studies attitudes towards risk among small-scale pineapple producers in the department of Santander, Colombia. For this purpose a random sample of 194 small-scale pineapple producers form the towns of Girón, Lebrija and Rionegro was taken. In order to determine attitudes towards risk a medium utility - non linear standard deviation approach was chosen. Results indicate that small-scale pineapple producers in Santander are reluctant to risk and show an increasing absolute reluctance and a decreasing relative reluctance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
