| dc.description.abstract | Government-run crop yield insurance scheme, procurement at minimum support
prices and calamity relief funds are the major instruments being used to protect the Indian
farmer from agricultural variability. The proposed Farm Income Insurance Scheme is an
attempt at integrating crop yield insurance and price support. Private insurers have been
experimenting with rainfall insurance as a substitute for or complement to crop
insurance. This paper reviews the development and performance of agriculture insurance
and examines the scope for participation by private insurers. | |
