| contents | Agricultural price volatility, driven by market dynamics and meteorological factors such as temperature and precipitation, poses challenges for sustainable finance, planning, and policy. This study analyzes the impact of climate on crop price volatility for soybean in Madhya Pradesh (India) and Illinois (US), rice in Assam (India), wheat in North Dakota (US), cotton in Gujarat (India), and corn in Iowa (US). Using CMIP6 climate projections from the Copernicus Climate Change Service, we examine historical climate patterns and evaluate two future scenarios: SSP2-4.5 (moderate) and SSP5-8.5 (severe). We estimate conditional price volatility using the Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (EGARCH) model, and forecast this volatility with a Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average with Exogenous Regressors (SARIMAX) model that incorporates meteorological variables. Finally, we apply the Black-Scholes framework to evaluate the cost of put-option-based insurance, which provides protection to farmers against adverse price drops linked to climate change. Our results highlight the role of meteorological data in improving agricultural risk modelling, enabling better design of insurance mechanisms, price stabilization tools, and sustainable policy interventions under climate uncertainty. |
