The model used to analyze the behavior of risk is a model developed by Kumbhakar (2002). The analysis showed that the average behavior of onion farmers are risk averse to the use of various inputs. In order for farmers to take risks and enhance productivity, strengthening institutions such as farmers' groups or unions as well as enhancing the role of the agricultural extension will be required.
