Increasing crop insurance adoption among smallholder farmers with pay-at-harvest premium payment

Abstract

The paper “Increasing crop insurance adoption among smallholder farmers with pay-at-harvest premium payment” by Sir Lorenzo Casaburi and Sir Jack Willis presents findings from a series of randomized controlled trials conducted in partnership with a sugarcane contract farming company in Kenya.

The study explores whether the timing of insurance premium payments influences low demand for crop insurance, focusing specifically on a pay-at-harvest model.
