What is agricultural insurance?

Agriculture in India can always be exposed to various risks such as excessive drought, rainfall, floods, cyclone, and other factors resulting in damage of the crops causing massive financial loss and distress to the farmer. Hence agriculture insurance protects the farmers from the losses arising due to production problems and various other reasons.

It covers pre-sowing and post-harvest losses due to uncertain climatic changes, such as lack of rainfall and cyclonic rains that result in low production of crops, causing a massive financial burden to the farmer and mental distress.
