The article highlights the substantial growth of South Korea's crop accident insurance subscription rates over the past decade, reaching 45.2% in 2020 before dropping to 31.8% when excluding rice. This growth is largely attributed to the increased coverage of rice, a major cultivated crop, which accounts for nearly 60% of the total insured area. Despite this progress, the subscription rates for several crops remain below 20%, indicating a disparity in insurance coverage. Lawmaker Won-taek Lee emphasizes the need for enhanced government support for sustainable farming amid the climate crisis and natural disasters, underscoring the importance of improving crop insurance coverage to better protect farmers from losses.
