Public-Private Partnerships in Crop Insurance
The USDA Risk Management Agency (RMA) acts on behalf of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) to provide a variety of crop insurance products. These products are sold and serviced by Approved Insurance Providers (AIP), which RMA then backs through reinsurance agreements. Selection of an AIP who is knowledgeable of FCIC programs and up-to-date on RMA policies is important, as these programs and policies are complex and change frequently. The RMA website provides an AIP-locator tool, as well as risk management and mitigation resources for farmers and other interested individuals.
