Managing weather-related risks and the usefulness of weather insurance

Anjali Kamboj and Aditi Rai

Weather risk refers to the potential for unfavorable weather conditions to disrupt business operations or cause damage to property. Weather insurance provides financial protection against losses resulting from various weather events such as wind, snow, rain/thunderstorms, fog, and extreme temperatures. It can assist farmers in recovering from losses incurred due to adverse weather conditions. Farmers' willingness to pay (WTP) indicates the maximum premium they are willing to pay for crop protection. New options for smallholder farmers include crop insurance or climate insurance, offering coverage against climate-related risks like low rainfall, temperature stress, and market price fluctuations. Comprehensive weather risk insurance programs may offer better coverage compared to traditional schemes that only cover a portion of the risk.
