But the adverse selection and the moral hazard due to the asymmetric information have hampered the supply of the agriculture insurance. Under these circumstances, more effective policy support, improvement of operation technology and management model innovation are necessary measures to overcome the problems caused by asymmetric information and to ensure the development of the agriculture insurance in China. Key words:agriculture insurance; asymmetric information; adverse selection; moral hazard
