Governments in developing countries have been increasingly involved
in the support of agricultural (crop and livestock) insurance
programs in recent years. In their attempts to design and implement
agricultural insurance, they have sought technical and financial
assistance from the international community and particularly from
the World Bank. One of the recurrent requests from governments
regards international experience with agricultural insurance, not
only in developed countries, where in some cases agricultural
insurance has been offered for more than a century, but also in
middleand low-income countries. Governments are particularly
interested in the technical, operational, financial, and
institutional aspects of public support to agricultural insurance.
'Government Support to Agricultural Insurance' informs public and
private decision makers involved in agricultural insurance about
recent developments, with a particular focus on middle- and
low-income countries. It presents an updated picture of the
spectrum of institutional frameworks and experiences with
agricultural insurance, ranging from countries in which the public
sector provides no support to those in which governments heavily
subsidize agricultural insurance. This analysis is based on a
survey conducted by the World Bank s agricultural insurance team in
2008 in 65 developed and developing countries. Drawing on the
survey results, the book identifies some key roles governments can
play to support the development of sustainable, affordable, and
cost-effective agricultural insurance programs."
