China Agricultural Model
China mainland has the largest livestock and forestry insurance portfolio in the world and also boasts the second-largest market for agriculture insurance after the U.S. As the market continues to develop and evolve, deeper understanding has never been more important. The Moody's RMS® China Agricultural Model can help close the insurance coverage gap and accurately measure crop, livestock, and forestry risks at a country level consistent with the insurance coverage in China mainland.
India Agricultural Model
India is the largest market for weather and yield index-based agriculture insurance schemes. The agricultural land in India relies on rainfall for irrigation. Being rain-fed, the area is also at increased likelihood of monsoon rainfalls. If not measured accurately, this poses a huge challenge for insurers and reinsurers. The Moody's RMS® India Agricultural Model covers weather (WBCIS) and yield (mNAIS, currently operated within PMFBY scheme) index-based insurance contracts at the district level.
