Earthquakes, floods, drought and pest attacks are some common concerns shared by Indian farmers. The country’s geographical location, weather and other physical features make it prone to natural disasters that wreak havoc on the crops across the country. Destruction of crops results in scarcity of food, which pushes up their prices, thus negatively impacting the poor. Since natural disasters cannot be prevented, the Indian government offers several types of crop insurance India schemes to protect the interests of farmers.
