Don't let farmers pay insurance premiums for nothing

Recently, it has been reported that tens of thousands of mu of corn in Dazhanchang Town, Zhongning County, Ningxia has been reduced by drought, almost no harvest. However, the corn planting insurance that farmers had previously insured could not be paid by the insurance company. In this regard, the explanation of the insurance company is the lack of corresponding drought weather proof, and the weather station near Dazhanchang town is too short to issue a corresponding certificate without historical data.

The original purpose of the establishment of agricultural insurance is to reduce the impact of disasters on agriculture and protect the income of farmers. However, when the drought really happened, there was no compensation.

Let agricultural insurance become a piece of paper. This kind of behavior not only hurts the interests of farmers, but also casts a shadow over the credibility of promoting policy-based insurance. It is hoped that the local joint investigation can come to a conclusion as soon as possible, put an end to the non-insurance of the insurance, and do not let farmers pay the insurance premium in vain without any claim.

The relevant local governments should also take this as a lesson, develop guaranteed corresponding types of insurance according to regional characteristics, implement the compensation rules of policy-oriented agricultural insurance, do a good job in various supporting services of agricultural insurance, such as meteorological records, disaster identification, insurance compensation supervision, etc., make adequate preparations in advance, put an end to "risky" insurance, and don't let farmers' hopes become disappointed.
