Rainfall Insurance can transfer rainfall related risks faced by Indian farming community for food grain and plantation crops, to the global weather markets on competitive terms. It may be noted that access to international weather re-insurers with geographically diversified portfolio, facilitates cost reduction.
Rainfall insurance can facilitate immediate and transparent claim settlement to the insured farming communities.
Due to its low administrative costs, Rainfall insurance is cost effective for the insurer as well, translating into lower premium levels compared to that of traditional crop insurance
