Abstract:

Policy-oriented agricultural insurance is an institutional innovation to overcome the failure of agricultural insurance market. It is an important means to ensure the normal operation of agricultural production and operation. Zhejiang Province’s policy-oriented agricultural insurance work is at the forefront of China, and has created a large number of institutional supply achievements such as the “co-insurance model”, and has accumulated rich practical operation experiences, such as the “three main body cooperation” mainly promoted by the government, market operation and farmers’ voluntary, the “three guarantee directions” of ensuring costs, disasters and large households, and the “three-level premium subsidies” of central subsidies, provincial subsidies and county-levl subsidies. In the present study, we systematically summarize the institutional framework, insurance types, guarantee degree, premium subsidy, risk control, institutional evaluation and other operating mechanisms, institutional innovation and achievements of policy-oriented agricultural insurance in Zhejiang Province. In view of the background of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization in the new era, relevant reform countermeasures are put forward, such as promoting the high-quality development of policy agricultural insurance in the new era, establishing an insurance policy support mechanism for common prosperity, improving the policy insurance system of seed industry, grain and hogs, and deepening the digital reform in the field of policy-oriented agricultural insurance to further improve and innovate this system,.
