The area of ​​insured crops in the region increases every year. Over five years – 4.5 times. If in 2019, six farms in the region insured grains, legumes, oilseeds and fodder crops on 61 thousand hectares, then this year there are already 59 enterprises on 282.7 thousand hectares. The share of insured areas in the total volume of crops in the region was 15%.
“Without insurance, modern agricultural production is impossible. Our farmers, who have learned to achieve high yields in the most difficult conditions, understand this. The interest of rural residents in this topic is also growing due to an increase in the volume of subsidies for agricultural insurance with state support, the development of the insurance services market and the growth of insurance culture. This means that the pace of agricultural insurance in the region will only increase,” said Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Trade of the region Larisa Beletskaya.
Farmers are reimbursed from the federal and regional budgets for 50% of the costs of paying insurance premiums accrued under insurance contracts in crop production. This year, 54 agricultural producers in the region were reimbursed 34.3 million rubles in this area, and five more farms will receive 8.8 million rubles in state support by the end of the year. The program provides insurance in case of emergencies, as well as the loss of crops or perennial crops due to natural hazards, natural disasters or pests.
Small agricultural producers who have insured their crops can count on an increased rate when calculating per-hectare support. Money for these purposes is allocated from budgets of different levels. This year, 32 small farms received a total of 9 million rubles for a total insured area of ​​about 77 thousand hectares. Large and medium-sized enterprises of the region that have insured their crops can also apply
for an increasing coefficient when calculating a per-hectare subsidy . This is a regional direction; farmers in the region will receive money for it by the end of the year. For this purpose, 38.8 million rubles are provided. The Ministry of Agriculture of the region will begin accepting documents for selection in the near future.
According to the National Union of Agricultural Insurers, in 2023, Russian agricultural organizations insured 10.5 million hectares of crops, which is 13% of the country’s available crop area.
