Adverse weather refers to hazardous weather conditions, such as hurricanes, floods, blizzards, disease, wildfires, and extremely hot or extremely cold temperatures. Crop insurance helps to lessen the hardship of the insured farmers by protecting them against the possibility of financial loss due to predicted crop loss brought on by the occurrence of unfavorable weather conditions such as rainfall, temperature, frost, humidity, etc. For instance, in January 2024, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a US-based federal scientific agency, in 2023, the United States experienced 28 weather and climate disasters costing at least 1 billion dollars each, an increase compared to 18 such disasters in 2022.

Global Crop Insurance Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the crop insurance market are focusing on technological advancements, such as remote sensing‑enabled yield estimation systems, to meet the rising demand for more precise, transparent and timely risk assessment and claim settlement amid increasing climate variability and farmer expectations for data‑driven coverage. A remote sensing‑enabled yield estimation system uses satellite imagery, geospatial data and algorithm‑based models to estimate crop yields and assess losses at a granular level throughout the season, significantly improving on traditional area‑based or manual crop cutting experiment methods that can be slower, less accurate and more labour‑intensive; by integrating real‑time environmental data and automated analytics, these systems enable faster, evidence‑based insurance decisions and reduced disputes over payouts. For instance, in July 2023, the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, an India-based government department, launched the YES‑TECH (Yield Estimation System Based on Technology) initiative under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, a technology‑driven yield estimation system that incorporates remote sensing and established methodologies to gradually migrate towards remote sensing‑based crop yield estimation with mandatory weightage for satellite‑derived yield data, supports multiple crops such as paddy, wheat and soybean, enhances accuracy in yield assessment, reduces dependency on manual sampling, and improves transparency and efficiency in loss calculations for crop insurance stakeholders.
