Yield index based crop insurance
With index-based insurance, payouts are related to an “index” that is closely correlated to agricultural production losses, such as one based on rainfall, yield or vegetation levels (e.g. pasture for livestock). Payouts are made when the index exceeds a certain threshold, often referred to as a “trigger”. Yield Protection, YP, is the simpler of the two plans. This plan is the basic plan where Crop Insurance originally started. Yield Protection is based strictly on the number of bushels of grain produced on a given acre of the crop. Most Federal Crop Insurance policies provide coverage for loss of production/yield or how much a crop produces. Some plans combine yield and price coverage. They cover loss in value due to a change in market price during the insurance period, in addition to the perils covered by the standard loss of yield coverage. index-based insurance have been implemented in India, Ukraine, Ethiopia, Malawi, and China.1 Whereas the level of indemnity payments depends on the actual farm yield in the insured period for common farm yield insurance, for index-based crop insurance, the level of indemnity payments depends on the realisation of a particular index, e.g.
