Agricultural insurance protects against loss of or damage to crops or livestock. It has great potential to provide value to low-income farmers and their communities, both by protecting farmers when shocks occur and by encouraging greater investment in crops. It further covers pre-sowing and post-harvest losses owing to cyclonic rains and rainfall deficit. However, in practice, its effectiveness has often been constrained by the difficulty of designing good products and by demand constraints.
The global agricultural insurance market size is predicted to reach over USD 42.31 billion by 2028. The global agricultural Insurances market is expected to show 3.6% CAGR during the coming years.

This can be ascribed to the growing demand for agricultural insurance from the agriculture sector to safeguard the land and crops of the farmers. Increased technological development and subsidies offered by the government are primarily proliferating the customer demand for agriculture insurance. This is observed as a key factor driving the agricultural insurance market growth on a global scale.
However, the high cost of premiums for insurance and lower awareness of agricultural policies among farmers are expected to hamper the growth of the market. Especially, lack of awareness about such policies and schemes is making the agriculture insurance market compromise on the compounded growth rate. To overcome these issues, governments are increasing creating awareness among farmers regarding the benefits associated with agricultural insurance.
