HDFC ERGO General Insurance Company has been authorised by the Andhra Pradesh government to implement the Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme (WBCIS) for farmers.
Those cultivating groundnut, sweet lime, tomato, chillies, cotton, and oil palm crops in Anantapur, Chittoor, East Godavari, Guntur, Kadapa, Kurnool, Prakasam and West Godavari districts will be covered under the scheme.
The scheme offers insurance cover to farmers against losses due to aberrant weather conditions during the crop cycle.
