Dayal Saraswat, Kinshuk (2022): Technology-Based Risk Management for Rural Sectors and Natural Disasters in Developing Countries. Published in: Amity University Press , Vol. 4, No. 2 (16 October 2022): pp. 57-66.

Abstract

There are many risks associated with living in a developing country, especially in far-flung rural areas, where these risks are more prevalent, because they are often located in remote areas, where these risks are more prevalent, as they are frequently located in far-flung rural areas, where these risks are more prevalent. Managing risk requires the use of information that is up-to-date, and emerging technologies are providing highly cost-effective methods for collecting, storing, processing, and disseminating information about risk that is up-to-date in a cost-effective manner. Farmers are now able to receive early warnings regarding adverse weather conditions, market movements, and outbreaks of pests and diseases through the use of early warning systems which can be accessed through mobile apps and the internet. By using instruments such as insurance contracts and futures contracts, there is a limited amount of emerging technologies that can be utilized to transfer rural sector risk in the form of instruments. The development of these applications is hindered by the lack of institutional development, the high cost of the products, as well as an inability to customize them in order to meet the needs of smallholders. As a result, they are hampered by the fact that there are limitations to the amount of information which can be produced by technology.
