Bayer CropScience Limited Bayer CropScience Limited Building Climate Resilience for India’s Smallholder Farmers Indian smallholder farmers are increasingly confronting the realities of climate volatility – erratic weather patterns, prolonged dry spells, rising temperatures, shifting seasons, and high-intensity rainfall events. Insights from Bayer’s Farmer Voice Survey – India 2024 highlight the scale of this challenge: nearly nine out of ten farmers report already experiencing the adverse effects of climate change. Among them, 72% anticipate reduced yields, 62% expect increased crop failures, and more than half report frequent exposure to droughts, heat waves, or excessive rainfall in coming years. In response to these evolving risks, farmers are actively seeking solutions to safeguard their livelihoods. While financial risk mitigation tools such as insurance remain a key need, there is an even stronger demand for digital and weather-based solutions. Notably, 51% of farmers identify access to advanced digital technologies as the most beneficial intervention for their farms. Despite recognizing the value of insurance, farmers continue to express dissatisfaction with existing systems. Key concerns include lack of transparency around claims, uncertainty regarding payout timelines, and a disconnect between compensation received and the actual scale of losses incurred. These gaps highlight the need for more responsive, transparent, and farmer-centric approaches to risk management.
