CROP INSURANCE MARKET: OVERVIEW

The Crop Insurance Market was valued at USD 36.7 Billion in 2021, the market is projected to grow USD 61.30 Billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 5.90 %.  Agricultural insurance has long been thought of as a risk management tool for farmers in both developing and industrialized economies, although policy paths toward sustainability differ from country to country. To increase coverage rates, private insurance companies work in tandem with the government-run insurance corporation. The viability of a heavily subsidized crop insurance, especially in developing economies, depends on identifying qualified beneficiaries. Farming is always a risky business, but adding the unpredictable and severe weather to the mix may make things even more challenging. Farmers are well aware that a major hailstorm, fire, or other unforeseen calamity can wreak havoc on their crops (and, as a result, their source of revenue) during the growing season.
 

COVID-19 ANALYSIS

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a moderate impact on the crop insurance market, owing to widespread fear of the virus and unprecedented transportation restrictions, which have disrupted supply chains for selling crops. Furthermore, a labor shortage for harvesting and supplying crops in the market is indirectly affecting the crop insurance market during the pandemic. As a result, crop harvesting and supply challenges reduce demand for crop insurance. However, following the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the crop insurance market is expected to thrive in the coming years.

Growing Adoption of Climate index insurance

When a specified value on an index (e.g. a percentile of rainfall) is realized, climate index insurance (also known as parametric, weather index, or index-based insurance) pays the policyholder. Climate index insurance often has lower rates than yield-based or revenue-based insurance because it does not require costly on-the-ground inspections and reduces moral hazards caused by information gaps or fraudulent loss reporting. Climate index insurance may be a widely acceptable and effective tool for farmers to transfer climate risks due to its potentially lower premiums. Despite its potential benefits, considerable basis risk, limited hazards, and a lack of technical ability, expertise, and data typically prevent climate index insurance from being used. Many problems exist in the development of successful climate index insurance products, which necessitate the attention and participation of scientists, policymakers, and industry.

Increasing Government Subsidies for Agricultural Weather Insurance Drive Market Growth

In recent years, governments in developing nations have been more active in supporting commercial crop insurance programs. In order for crop insurance to be widely adopted in global market, government subsidies are likely to be required. It's also feasible to focus a subsidy to a specific group of farmers, which could result in a higher benefit-to-cost ratio, though the expenses are still likely to outweigh the benefits overall. There are government interventions that address the barriers and help to facilitate the development of the agricultural weather insurance.
