Abstract: Crop insurance is recognised to be a basic instrument for maintaining stability in farm income, through promoting technology, encouraging investment, and increasing credit flow in the agricultural sector. Banana is the single-largest crop covered under the State Crop Insurance Scheme in Kerala. This study examines the State Crop Insurance Scheme for the banana farmers in Wayanad district with a view to critically examining its rates and the problems encountered in its implementation [Discussion Paper 54].
