Price Risk Protection

Price Risk Protection is a parametric risk-transfer product from Agtuall that provides cover against agricultural commodity price volatility for farmers, agribusinesses, and financiers. The product is triggered by commodity price movements relative to a third-party reference price index; no satellite or Earth observation data is involved in its operation.^[1] It uses actuarial models and commodity price data as its analytical inputs. The product addresses the exposure of agricultural producers to price downturns between planting and harvest, and provides an alternative to exchange-traded hedging instruments for parties that may not have direct market access. The companion product from the same provider, Agtuall CARMA, is the EO-enabled crop assessment service.^[2]
