| Summary: | This paper reviews possibilities for,
and experience with, credit-linked crop insurance, including
different types of insurance and credit arrangements,
ranging from insurance sold to individual farmers to meso
insurance sold to financial service providers (FSPs) to
cover losses suffered by farmer borrowers. The paper
describes the main methods of linkage that are being tested
or proposed, identifies the critical features of each
method, and discusses the advantages and limitations for the
three parties - farmers, FSPs, and insurers. |
