Descripción
This policy brief addresses rice crop insurance as a means to reduce rural poverty in Indonesia. Rice farming enjoys a central role as a source of livelihoods within the agricultural sector and is a major food source for domestic and export consumption. Although national policies stabilize prices and subsidize inputs, policy solutions to minimize the impact of rice farming’s inherent risks, and resulting crop loss and failure, are presently lacking.
