In humid environment, rice that is not harvested in time is prone to sprouting, moldy, and spoilage, resulting in huge losses. Nowadays, farmers can apply for compensation for such losses from insurance companies.

In recent days, Mr. Zhang, a grain farmer in Lushansi Village, Hemudu Town, Yuyao City, spent over 1000 yuan to insure his 50 acre rice field. “After paying this money, I no longer have to worry about rain during the rice harvest,” Mr. Zhang said. It is learned that this is the first commercial rice harvest rainfall index insurance to be implemented in Ningbo.
