Understanding the scale of global insured crop losses goes beyond individual markets and weather events
Verisk's 2026 Global Modeled Crop Losses Report estimates USD 27.7 billion in average annual insured crop losses across modeled domains representing approximately 73% of global crop insurance premiums.
Drawing on six crop models spanning the United States, Canada, China, and India, the report provides a broader perspective on regional loss patterns, climate-driven risks, and the role of portfolio diversification in understanding agricultural exposure.
Gain insights into global crop loss potential and the role of catastrophe modeling in understanding agricultural risk
The report examines:
- Global modeled crop losses – average annual losses and extreme loss potential across major agricultural insurance markets
- Regional risk patterns – how loss contributions and risk characteristics vary across the United States, Canada, China, and India
- Climate variability – how El Niño and La Niña influence crop losses across different regions
- Portfolio diversification – how climate-driven correlations and geographic diversification affect aggregate loss potential
