Yeongyang-gun Selected as Pilot Area for Autumn Cabbage Crop Insurance... Resolving Farmers' Long-standing Wish, "Let's Go for Spring Cabbage Too!"

Gyeongbuk Yeongyang County Office.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] Yeongyang-gun, Gyeongbuk, has been selected as a pilot area for "autumn cabbage" crop disaster insurance.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Agricultural Policy Insurance Finance Service designated open-field autumn cabbage as a newly introduced crop disaster insurance item for the second half of this year and selected Yeongyang-gun as the pilot area.

On the 18th, a crop disaster insurance product briefing session will be held at the Seokbo-myeon meeting room for farmers, administrative agencies, and the Nonghyup.

Crop disaster insurance is a farmer support policy that creates a safe agricultural environment from abnormal weather and recurring natural disasters. In Yeongyang-gun, to reduce farmers' insurance premium burden, it has been promoted as a pledge of the 7th local government administration, establishing a stable farming foundation by reducing the farmers' burden rate by 10%.

The Yeongyang-gun agricultural authorities are continuously requesting the additional designation of open-field spring cabbage crop disaster insurance items, which is a long-standing wish of farmers, as the spring cabbage cultivation area is also large, not only for this autumn cabbage.

Adopted as a pledge of the 8th local government administration, they plan to strongly demand the central government and local political circles to ensure that spring cabbage can also be designated as a crop disaster insurance item with full effort.

Oh Do-chang, the mayor of Yeongyang-gun, said, "I am pleased that autumn cabbage, a long-standing wish of cabbage farmers, has been designated as a crop disaster insurance item, easing the difficulties of farmers a little," and added, "We will do our best to have spring cabbage also designated as a disaster insurance item."
