Abstract
Weather index insurance can mitigate financial climate risks. This removal of financial downside risks helps to overcome poverty traps, improves farmers’ well being and facilitates economic growth in agriculture. We empirically test different drought indices regarding their risk reducing potentials for weather index insurance. Results indicate that the drought index with greatest risk reduction is farm individual.
