Abstract
The project aims to develop climate risk management systems in key SE Asia countries which include insurance products that help shield smallholder farmers and businesses in coffee, sugar, rice, cassava, rubber, dairy, and grazing, across the agricultural value chain. These products could protect smallholders from physical and financial disaster associated with climate change. For the development of insurance products, one of the challenges is to increase the level of awareness among farmers and policymakers about the potential role of insurance in risks transfer, including raising the awareness of insurance policy creators.
