Agricultural Insurance in the Americas: A Risk Management Tool
Agricultural insurance in Latin America and the Caribbean is a very
important issue that has attracted considerable attention. A great
deal of information has been amassed on this subject; our current
goal is to systematize this information and make it available in this study
and similar ones to be published in the future. This initial effort has been
produced with the valuable assistance by our colleagues at the Inter-American
Institute for Cooperation in Agriculture (IICA), to whom we wish to
express our appreciation:
• Priscila Henriquez
• María Elena Cedeño
• Máximo Araya
• Federico Sancho
IICA also wishes to express its appreciation to institutions such as the
Latin American Association for the Development of Agricultural Insurance
(ALASA), the Inter-American Federation of Insurance Companies
(FIDES), the Risk Management Agency (RMA) of the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA), Aseguradora Agropecuaria Dominicana
S.A. (AGRODOSA), Windward Islands Crop Insurance (WINCROP) and
Caribbean Risk Managers (CaribRM) for their important contributions.
