What does Crop Yield Insurance specifically cover?

1. Physical losses to actual crops

2. Economic losses due to market fluctuations

3. Insurance against all types of crop damages

4. Only losses from insect damage

The correct answer is: Physical losses to actual crops

Crop Yield Insurance specifically covers physical losses to actual crops. This type of insurance is designed to protect farmers against a decrease in yield due to unforeseen events such as adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, pests, or diseases that impact crop production. It provides financial support when there are significant declines in crop yields compared to historical averages, ensuring that farmers can recover from losses and maintain their agricultural operations. Unlike options that address economic losses or broader types of crop damage, Crop Yield Insurance is focused specifically on the measurable physical output of crops. It does not provide coverage for market fluctuations or losses due to price decreases after harvest, nor does it solely cover losses from specific causes like insect damage. This specificity makes Crop Yield Insurance a critical risk management tool for farmers seeking to safeguard their income derived from crop production.
