U.S. MPCI Webinar
In 2017, the USDA’s Risk Management Agency began releasing detailed summary of business data comprising crop type, growing practice, and unit structure. These data points help us better understand premiums and enable AIR to better reflect the premium exposure across the country. AIR has updated the Multiple Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) Model for the United States to help companies better understand their risk and make more informed decisions.
During this webinar, AIR experts provided an overview of the key updates to the model, including the addition of pasture, rangeland, and forage, as well as the implementation of updated program and policy information. How these updates may impact your model results were also discussed.
