Parametric climate insurance offers a proactive solution to safeguard India's agriculture against unpredictable weather events.

Why It Matters for Indian Agriculture

India's agriculture is highly dependent on the monsoon, with rainfed farming accounting for 60% of the net sown area. Erratic rainfall patterns, prolonged dry spells, and heavy rain days have made farming increasingly vulnerable. Parametric insurance can help mitigate these risks by offering financial stability to farmers, enabling them to recover quickly and invest in resilience measures.
