A proxy for the loss ( index ) is used for settlement No need to evaluate loss onsite before paying claims Useful for widespread and systemic losses, not useful for localized (hit-or-miss) losses Index e.g. Weather Index Insurance, Area Yield Index Insurance, Normalised Difference Vegetation Index Insurance.

22 The RS ARBY Dry test: June November 2014 An as if business case simulation of a satellite-powered crop insurance product in the Philippines. Objective: Involved institutions (insurers and distribution entities) will get the opportunity to get familiar and prepare for a smooth launch/ operation of a SAR-supported insurance product The following four key processes will be tested and assessed: (1) Appropriateness of the area yield-based index insurance product pricing and design (AYII = area yield index insurance) (2) Key steps in the distribution process (3) Key steps in the claims process (4) Functionality and timeliness of SAR-based yield assessment Duration: During wet-season 2014, June November Two workshops with all involved stakeholders: start of the wet cropping season (May); end of the 2014 wet season (November). Responsibilities of the involved parties: Different organisations will take the lead on providing the relevant deliverables (see next slide). Page 22

23 Underlying core processes RS ARBY dry-test components Overview of timeline of the core processes Explanation The RIICE project deliverables (product, distribution, yield estimates) need to be delivered at the right time in the course of the under-lying processes (crop cycle, loan cycle etc.). January February March April May June July August September October November December Crop cycle Crop cycle 2a Loan cycle Loan cycle 1 2b Insurance product cycle 2c 2c 2c 3 3 SAR-based loss & yield monitoring RIICE Project deliverables Philippine stakeholders deliverables 1 Insurance product design and tariff 3 Sales cut off 2a Product marketing and distribution 2b Service to customer and distributor / agents 2c Claims payment process (insurer & distributor) Monitoring and yield estimates 90 day cover 120 day cover Page 23

24 Lessons Learnt and Next Steps RS ARBY is FEASIBLE based on the RIICE simulation RS ARBY is affordable 2.79% (DS) 5.5% (WS) on average in 6 municipalities in 80% coverage Product can be expanded to DA PRiSM target agrees, IF DA agrees to share yield data Micro Crop Insurance Policy Framework comprises Area Based Yield Index Insurance PIRA submits RS ARBY Policy to IC IC approves RS ARBY Policy contract Page 24

25 Lessons learnt and Next Steps then.. RS ARBY can be ready to be commercially pilot tested in 2015 with the participation of an Insurer, a Distribution Channel and a Reinsurer Page 25
