Gochang-gun Promotes 'Crop Disaster Insurance Support Project'

[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeonbuk Gochang-gun (Governor Yu Gisang) announced on the 16th that it will promote the 'Crop Disaster Insurance Farmer Burden Support Project' to enhance farmers' income and management stability and support agricultural reproduction activities.

Currently, crop disaster insurance is available for 67 items.

The subscription period is operated separately according to the cultivation period of each item, and farmers who wish to subscribe can do so at the nearest regional agricultural cooperative.

The subscription period for ginseng is until the 26th of this month, and for mulberry, bokbunja (Korean black raspberry), plum, peach, and grape, disaster insurance subscription is accepted until the 3rd of next month.

To reduce the burden of insurance premiums on farmers, the government supports 50% of the total premium, Jeonbuk Province and Gochang-gun support 30%, so farmers only bear 20% of the insurance premium.

A county official said, "This year, crops suffered significant damage due to natural disasters such as cold damage, strong winds, and frost, but fortunately, farmers who subscribed to insurance received compensation benefits," and added, "Since there is no guarantee that natural disasters will not occur next year, we urge farmers to subscribe to crop disaster insurance."
