India Introduces Ear Tags and Insurance Pricing for Rural Livestock
India has assigned unique 12-digit ear tags to over 36 crore animals involved in the rural economy, providing them with identity. An insurance portal launched on September 28 now attaches a price and loss record to each tagged animal. This development aims to introduce value and history to livestock, potentially impacting the non-agricultural rural economy by enabling banks and insurers to better assess and manage risks related to these animals.
