Intervention (Public)
|
Before
We plan to randomly provide maize insurance to 300 maize farmers in our sample, half the total. We will do so for both rainy seasons of the year. We insure the same two acres for all participants, regardless of farm size. The insured amount is of 1400kg of maize per acre; towards the upper limit of what farmers achieve with traditional farming techniques. Each kilogramm is insured at 500 USh, for a total of 1.4 million USh for 2 acres per season and participant.

After
We plan to randomly provide maize insurance to about 300 maize farmers in our sample, half the total. We will do so for both rainy seasons of the year. The sum insured will depend on the total land (i.e. acreage) each farmer cultivated during the two seasons of the year prior to the start of the treatment; information that will be collected at the baseline. The yield is estimated to be 2,000 kg of maize per acre; towards the upper limit of what farmers achieve with traditional farming techniques, and a reasonable amount for farmers using modern inputs. Each kilogram is insured at 500 USh.
