This type of insurance helps mitigate the financial impact of losing valuable livestock, ensuring that farmers can continue their operations without significant financial strain. Livestock insurance can cover a wide range of animals, including cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry, offering comprehensive protection for diverse farming operations.
-
Reinsurance in crop insurance is a risk management tool that insurers use to protect themselves against significant losses due to large-scale unpredictable agricultural events. These can be widespread events like droughts, floods, typhoon or local events like pest infestation and hail. Through reinsurance, the crop insurer transfers part of its risk to another insurance company, known as the reinsurer. This allows the primary insurer to maintain financial stability even when paying out large claims so they can continue to provide affordable coverage to farmers, particularly in regions prone to severe weather events or other risks. Insurance in agriculture is essential for promoting long-term sustainability and affordability for both insurers and farmers alike.
