Buan-gun Fully Supports Eco-Friendly Farmers' Crop Disaster Insurance

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Geon-ju] Buan-gun, Jeonbuk Province, is providing full support for the self-payment portion of crop disaster insurance premiums for eco-friendly farms, spending 30 million KRW of county funds.

According to Buan-gun on the 6th, crop disaster insurance is a project that supports the self-payment portion (20% of project costs) paid when subscribing to existing crop disaster insurance for farms practicing eco-friendly agriculture. Its purpose is to alleviate the management instability of eco-friendly farms caused by natural disasters, thereby promoting farm income and management stability and expanding eco-friendly agriculture.

Accordingly, from this year, eco-friendly farms can subscribe to crop disaster insurance for free by simply reporting it.

Until now, the county supported material assistance projects for rice cultivation complexes with a collective nature of 3 hectares or more to expand eco-friendly agriculture. From this year, this has been changed to production incentives so that small farms, rice-growing farms, and eco-friendly farms cultivating other crops can also benefit, providing support for all crop types.

The head of the Agricultural Policy Division said, “If you practice eco-friendly agriculture in Buan-gun, you can receive support worth 2.1 million KRW per hectare for rice, 4.4 million KRW for fruit trees, and 4.15 million KRW for general crops based on organic certification standards,” adding, “Buan-gun is a great place to practice eco-friendly agriculture.”
