Abstract

Chilling injuries severely affect and restrict the litchi production in Hainan. Accordingly, the studies on the design of insurance contracts based on the weather indices and will be of great significance for transferring disaster risks, reducing the losses of planters. Using the data of litchi yield from 1990 to 2010 as well as the meteorological data from 1961 to 2010 in Hainan, the yield risk distribution model was developed using the extreme value theory. Subsequently, the pure premium rates in all counties or cities were determined. Finally, the insurance products and contracts with different deductibles were designed. With the chilling damage of litchi encountered in Hainan Province in 2014, the paper applied the insurance contract in Haikou and Chengmai, the result of error testing indicate that simulation of the chilling injury index to litchi yield reduction rate was accurate, and the determination of the premium rate was scientific and reasonable. The insurance contracts based on the weather indices with different deductibles are designed according to the requirements of the insurers at different regions with different risks. They can provide technical supports for the establishment and improvement of agricultural insurance schemes for litchi in Hainan.
