Abstract
II. Objectives of the Multi Peril Crop Insurance Task Force

2. To examine the scope and design of potential insurance schemes and their desirability both from a fanning and insurance perspective.
3. To commission studies and actuarial assessments so that actuarially sound premiums can be determined, at the farm level if possible.
4. To ensure that any insurance scheme adopted at least covers the direct (cash) input costs of putting in the crop. ff To assess the feasibility of whether these schemes can be produced on a commercial basis with the risk to be effectively underwritten by the private sector.
5. To assess the feasibility of whether these schemes can be introduced on a commercial basis with the risk to be effectively underwritten by the private sector.
