Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, has launched a campaign to promote the Agricultural Safety Insurance Farm Burden Support Project to protect farmers excluded from industrial accident insurance by compensating for physical injuries occurring during farm work.

The eligible applicants are residents of the county aged 15 to 87 who are registered with an agricultural management entity or possess a membership confirmation certificate issued by the Forestry Cooperative.

Agricultural Machinery Safety Insurance compensates for personal injury, property damage, and self-injury accidents caused by agricultural machinery during farm work. Eligible applicants are farmers aged 19 or older who own any of 12 types of agricultural machinery, including tillers, tractors, and combines.

Both insurances can be applied for year-round by visiting local agricultural cooperatives, and the coverage period is one year from the date of enrollment.

The insurance premium per person varies depending on the type, and farmers only need to bear 20% of the cost.

In the case of Agricultural Safety Insurance, benefits such as survivor benefits, disability benefits, and injury and disease treatment expenses are covered. Through this, it is expected to help compensate for damages caused by agriculture-related accidents and contribute to the income and management stability of farms.

County Governor Shim Min said, “I hope many farmers enroll in Agricultural Safety Insurance to receive stable treatment and support for returning to farming in case of accidents.”

Meanwhile, the number of Agricultural Safety Insurance enrollments in Imsil-gun last year was 3,266, an increase of 54 cases compared to 2021.
