“Buy Up”
This is a production or yield based policy. This traditional type coverage utilizes a farmer’s deductible level and individual Actual Production History (APH – 6- to 10-year average yield) to determine coverage. The farmer chooses a coverage level (ranging from 50% - 90%) and price election when buying a policy.
Catastrophe
This is also a production or yield based policy. This coverage was introduced by the FCIC in 1995 after the 1993 MPCI loss as a further “subsidy” to the market. The policy offers 50% coverage at 60% of the MPCI price election.

Revenue (CRC or RA)
This is a revenue protection policy. This coverage was first introduced to the market in 1996 for corn and soybeans in the states of Iowa and Nebraska. The FCIC has expanded this coverage for other crops and in nearly all states. The revenue coverage guarantee is determined using the farmers APH and Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) commodity prices.
Industry OverviewDefinitions of MPCI Coverage Types
CRC Policy Wording DefinitionsMinimum Guarantee - APH multiplied by the Base Price multiplied by the coverage level elected.Harvest Guarantee - APH multiplied by the Harvest Price multiplied by the coverage level elected.Final Guarantee - Greater of the Minimum or Harvest Guarantee.
AssumptionsAPH = 150 CBOT Price = $2.50 Coverage Level = 70% Minimum Guarantee = $262.50

MPCIHistorical Perspective – “Late 1990’s”
• Crop Insurance Reform and 1996 Farm bill spurred MPCI sales. FCIC ceased to deliver the MPCI product under bill.
• Increased premium subsidy for farmers in 1999• Introduction of Revenue products in 1996.

MPCIStandard Reinsurance Agreement (SRA)
SRA - a Contract between the Government (FCIC) and the private insurance company.
Proportional and non proportional reinsurances available. The SRA allows ceding companies to cede or designate each crop
contract (policy) to one of the following seven funds:– Assigned Risk– Developmental – Cat– Developmental – Buy-up– Developmental – Revenue– Commercial – Cat– Commercial – Buy-up– Commercial – Revenue
Ceding companies utilize historical experience, market knowledge and underwriting models to determine the business they wish to retain and the undesirable business they wish to cede to the FCIC.
Guy Carpenter 14
Standard Reinsurance Agreement Proportional Reinsurance – A
Assigned Risk Fund– Company’s less desirable business - “Social Fund”.
– FCIC sets cession limits by state, based on loss history.
– 75%-85% of the business is proportionately ceded to FCIC.
Developmental Fund– Accommodates business where “uncertainty” exists or where Assigned
Risk limits are exceeded.
– Up to 65% of gross premiums can be ceded to FCIC.
Commercial Fund– Accommodates a Company’s most profitable business.
– Highest profit potential and highest risk potential.
– Up to 50% of gross premiums can be ceded to FCIC.

FCIC assumes a 5% share of the total gain or loss of a Company’s book of business.
Provision first introduced for the 2005 crop season.
Due to the profitable nature of the business, this provision is the Government’s way of reducing their cost to service and manage the MPCI Program.

Crop Hail Industry Historical Premium
• Prior to the advent of the Multi-Peril Crop Insurance, Farmers managed their agricultural risk through Crop Hail coverages and various disaster relief programs.
• With the increased popularity of CRC coverages, and higher MPCI subsidies to the Farmer, Crop Hail insurance products started to decline as a risk management tool.
• With the profitability of MPCI business, ceding companies targeted growth in the MPCI class by offering agents more competitive hail products.
