The Risk Management Safety Net:
Portfolio Analysis-Market Penetration and Potential
The Risk Management Agency’s (RMA) report, Risk Management Safety Net: Portfolio Analysis-Market Penetration and Potential, provides a snapshot of what makes up today’s Federal crop insurance book of business, measures of Federal crop insurance market penetration by crop and on-going initiatives and priorities at RMA for new crop insurance product development and program improvements. One measure used to identify areas of market potential for new or improved Federal crop insurance products is the market penetration of existing Federal crop insurance.
The risk management safety net provided by Federal crop insurance has improved significantly over the past decade and even more over the past twenty years, providing coverage today for the majority of principle U.S. crops along with a strong share of other field and specialty crops and some livestock. RMA continues to improve existing insurance programs and innovative new insurance products to producers for their risk management needs.
