[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeonnam announced on the 22nd that it is expanding support for crop disaster insurance premiums.

To minimize the economic losses of farms caused by natural disasters such as heavy rain, heat waves, and typhoons, the expected scale of the crop disaster insurance project promoted by Jangseong-gun this year is 1,800 hectares.

The scale of premium support has been increased by 5% with county funds, currently supporting a total of 85%. Organic certified farms receive full premium support.

As of mid-this month, 1,473 farms covering 1,113 hectares including apples, pears, persimmons, and horticultural facilities have enrolled.

The insurance enrollment period varies by item. Applications for rice enrollment are accepted until the 26th of this month, and for soybeans until the 17th of next month. Onions and garlic can be applied for in October to November, grapes and peaches in November. Applications for horticultural facilities are accepted until November 27.

A county official said, “As the application period for crop disaster insurance for rice is approaching its deadline, we are actively promoting it at the eup and myeon levels,” urging many farms to participate.

Meanwhile, last year, Jangseong-gun enrolled 1,656 farms covering 1,704 hectares in crop disaster insurance, among which 805 farms received benefits worth 4.319 billion won.
