  which is free from following lapses:

Weather Index Insurance -Sri Lankan Experience

 Weather insurance came into operation for the first time in Sri Lanka by
  Sanasa Insurance company effective from Yala season 2010.

 Objective was to provide financial support to paddy farmers who encountered
  with losses from having excess or deficit rain.

 This insurance scheme was operated in two areas in Kurunagala and Kaluthara
  district on experimental basic and extended to 7 more locations in Maha
  2010/2011 and Yala in 2011

 Payouts from this insurance were trigged at points of variations between the
  pre-specified rainfall index and the observed index calculated by the
  metrological department.

Advantages of Weather Index Insurance

 Payouts are trigged by pre-specified mechanism of

  observing weather indices by an independent authority.

 Reduce occurrence of moral hazard and adverse selection.

 Eliminates the need for in-field assessments.

 Possibility of transferring risks of weather index insurance to
  international reinsurers.
Constraints in implementing Weather Index
                 Insurance
1. It is very expensive to launch weather index insurance
   scheme. Significant resources and technical expertise are
   required :
 To conduct initial research and product development.
 To initiate building capacity program within the
   organization, branch network and subsidiary organizations.
 To train insurance agents.
 To conduct insurance awareness programs and to educate
   farmers on weather on index insurance on its correct
   perspective.

Insurance                        Contd….

2. Scaling up weather index insurance depends on

 Availability of reliable meteorological data.
 Availability of weather stations in close proximity to
  cultivating areas.
 Lack of awareness in weather index insurance among
  potential farmers.
 Reluctance to pay price for insurance coverage.
Conclusions
Weather index insurance is not a sole solution for all risks
faced by the farmer . It can not be operated in all areas. Yet,
it shows great promise as a tool to reduce the sever effects
from weather related phenomena.

It is an easily-operated strategy of free from lapses of
delays, lack of transparency, presence of human error,
bureaucracy and complicated procedures in claims
settlement.

Weather insurance seems more effective when it is linked to
a large package of risk management strategies and services.
Thank you
