Implementation of Yield Estimation System Based on Technology YES-TECH in Madhya Pradesh

May 18, 2026

Effective agricultural risk management relies on accurate crop loss estimation, yet traditional Crop Cutting Experiments (CCEs) are often resource-intensive and prone to error. To modernise this process, India introduced the Yield Estimation System based on Technology (YES-TECH).

Madhya Pradesh serves as a primary case study, being the first state to rely fully on this technology for insurance claims. However, local feedback reveals emerging challenges and calls for its rollback.

This report evaluates the implementation of YES-TECH across selected districts, identifying critical gaps and stakeholder concerns to provide a roadmap for a more effective national rollout.
