[Agricultural and Fisheries News=Reporter Park Yu-sin] Compensation for all natural disasters during the growth period will be provided for apples, pears, persimmons, and astringent persimmons. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced on the 24th that it will newly introduce a comprehensive risk insurance product for the entire period for apples, pears, persimmons, and astringent persimmons in some cities and counties in major production areas to enhance the disaster response capabilities of farmers. Unlike existing products, the comprehensive risk insurance product for the entire period of apples, pears, persimmons, and astringent persimmons compensates for all damages caused by natural disasters throughout the entire growth period, including after fruit thinning, and also compensates for damages such as sunburn caused by heat waves after fruit thinning.
