Abstract
Providing appropriate risk management tools for agriculture is a key challenge for agricultural development. Agricultural insurance systems play a vital role in that process: they provide structured cover against natural perils and legal entitlement for indemnification for the farming sector. As such, they serve as collateral for agricultural loans and provide a safety net for investments.
