Comrade Dinh Viet Hong - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, Head of the SC chaired the meeting.
According to the Prime Minister's decision, Nghe An was selected to pilot insurance for two subjects: rice and buffalo, cows and pigs. For rice, Nghe An plans to select three districts specializing in wet rice production, namely Yen Thanh, Dien Chau and Quynh Luu. For buffalo, cows and pigs, three districts are expected to be selected for pilot insurance, namely Tuong Duong, Thanh Chuong and Do Luong (in which, the district People's Committee will select three pilot communes). During the pilot period of agricultural insurance from 2011 to 2013, the state will have support policies such as: 100% support for insurance premiums for poor farming households and individuals participating in the agricultural insurance pilot. That figure will be 80% for near-poor farming households and individuals, 60% for non-poor households and individuals participating in the agricultural insurance pilot and 20% for agricultural production organizations participating in the agricultural insurance pilot.
After this meeting, the People's Committees of the districts participating in the pilot program of agricultural insurance will coordinate with insurance companies to organize training for communes and related departments on the contents of this issue. Bao Viet Nghe An Company - the unit selected to implement the pilot program of agricultural insurance in the period 2011-2013 will organize professional training and agent training for related components. According to the plan, from November 5 to November 15, the program will be implemented in communes and hamlets participating in insurance.
