Crop insurance demand is growing
Crop insurance demand is growing because climate variability keeps increasing, extreme weather events occur more often and farmers face greater pressure to protect productivity and income.
Governments and private insurers offer multi-peril crop insurance, yield protection and weather-based products to strengthen agricultural risk management.
Satellite imagery, artificial intelligence, remote sensing and data analytics help insurers assess risk more accurately, process claims faster and design products around farmer needs.
Precision agriculture and digital agriculture also give insurers more usable data for underwriting. That matters. Better field-level information helps carriers price risks, reduce claims uncertainty and support products for different crops, regions and farming practices.
