Inception Report on Implementing YESTECH for Kharif rice in Andhra Pradesh. 2025-26
Abstract
Crop yield estimates of the Insurance Units (IUs) for the current and past years form the basis for crop loss assessment and indemnity payout. Crop yield estimation is done by carrying out Crop Cutting Experiments (CCEs), the traditional system of manual yield measurements in randomly selected field plots for each crop in each IU. Major limitations of CCE-based crop yield estimation include the following gaps: (a) a limited number of measurements, (b) a time-consuming process, and (c) vulnerable to human errors.
