The Agriculture and Food Service Office of Kudus Regency, Central Java continues to socialize the rice crop insurance program to farmers. The Rice Farming Business Insurance Program (AUTP) provides guarantees for farmers' arable land when it is hit by floods or pest attacks.

"We hope that farmers in Kudus will take part in the AUTP program because the central government has allocated an area of ​​2,000 hectares," said Dewi Masitoh, Head of the Food Crops and Plantation Division of the Kudus Agriculture and Food Service in Kudus, Monday (25/7/2022).

He noted that so far, only 86 hectares of farmers' land have paid off their premiums, although 500 hectares have registered. According to him, participating in the AUTP program is not burdensome because the central government provides subsidies of 80 percent of the premium value of Rp. 180 thousand per hectare.

"Farmers are only burdened with paying a premium of Rp. 36 thousand because the government subsidizes Rp. 144 thousand," he said.

According to Dewi, the premium cost does not burden farmers because their crops during one growing season are guaranteed when crops fail due to pests or natural disasters with an insurance claim of Rp 6 million. "If the allocation given is not fulfilled, of course it will be transferred to another district. Of course it is a shame if it is not used," he said.

For the AUTP program, which is borne by the Central Java Provincial Government with an area of ​​400 hectares, it has been fulfilled because it is prioritized for land that is planted up to three times. While the premium costs are borne entirely by the Central Java Provincial Government. To boost the participation of the AUTP program, his party plans to synergize with farmer groups who receive program assistance from the government.
