The purpose of the TA is to (i) identify impediments to developing sustainable agricultural insurance in Viet Nam and propose policy options, (ii) provide feasible models for informal agricultural risk mitigation and formal agricultural insurance for pilot testing, and (iii) conduct pilot testing of informal and formal risk mitigation models. The results of the TA will have potential implications on the design of the agricultural insurance program and will contribute to the Government’s strategy to develop agricultural insurance in Viet Nam. Appendix 1 gives the TA framework, and Appendix 2 contains the summary initial poverty and social analysis.
