The Indonesian Government has decided to develop a crop insurance policy to assist farmers and to boost food security. The G4INDO project provides technical assistance in assessing crop yield anomalies at plot scale. The project will provide crop insurance and third crop feasibility advice to 200,000 farmers. Processed satellite data such as radar and optical earth observations provide the necessary information. This is combined with weather monitoring, analysis and fore casting, crop models, and hydrological models. The Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture and the Insurance companies can use this integrated information to assess claims from service contract holders experiencing harvest losses. The project also supports the cropping calendar of the Ministry of Agriculture, by advising whether a third rice crop can be expected to receive suffi cient rain. Fold in
