Agriculture more than any other branch of production is influenced by various natural, anthropogenic and economic risk factors on which the profitability of production and preservation of the environment in rural areas depend. The prerequisite of prevention or alleviation of risks is their all-round knowledge and consideration. In order to understand the nature of risks, they will be dealt with in the present study on the example of the cultivation of the most common cereal in Estonia - barley. The difference in barley yields, resulting from the pedoclimatic coditions of Estonia, may be 2-4-fold in different regions and in different years. At the same time, differences in the profitability of barley cultivation, depending on economic factors and on the specificity of production, may be up to 6-fold.
