Crop Insurance Subsidies

Crop insurance subsidies are government programs that help farmers manage financial risks caused by natural disasters, such as droughts, floods, or storms. The government provides financial support by subsidizing a portion of the insurance premiums farmers pay, making coverage more affordable. If crops are damaged or yields fall below expected levels, the insurance helps farmers recover their losses, stabilizing their income and encouraging agricultural productivity. These subsidies aim to reduce the financial volatility for farmers while promoting a stable, reliable food supply.
