Ukraine - State Budget for 2008 includes 200 million UAH (appr. 40 million USD) for crop insurance subsidies

Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted regulation #302 dated April 02, 2008 on crop insurance subsidies for 2008. With the help of this money farmers can insure approximately 8 million hectares of agricultural crops. In 2005 only 934 crop insurance contracts were purchased by farmers who insured 390 thousand hectares of crops. Unfavourable year of 2007 proved that insurance can be an effective instrument for managing weather risks. Last year crops suffered from severe drought, hail and other weather risks. In 2008 Government of Ukraine will provide subsidies for insurance of such crops as wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, soy beens, flax, canola, sunflower, hops, sugar beet, triticale, peas, buckwheat, millet and hemp. Government will compensate to farmers 50% of the premium paid on MPCI crop insurance contracts. Premium rate should be not higher than 5% with deductible at the level of 30%. Insurance sum should be calculated on the basis of minimum purchase prices as established by the government. Premium subsidies will be paid if spring crops were insured by July 1, 2008 and winter crops insurance contracts signed by November 25, 2008. The contracts should be purchased only from the licensed insurance companies.

Text of the Regulation 302 can be found at the library at our web-site (Ukrainian text in Russian Language section).
