Kyrgyzstan Launches Pilot Insurance Program for Wheat Farmers in Issyk-Kul
What happened
Kyrgyzstan introduced a pilot insurance program designed to protect wheat producers from the volatility of natural disasters. The initiative targets farmers in the Chuy, Osh, and Issyk-Kul regions. The coverage includes risks such as droughts, frosts, hail, and floods, and a payout is triggered if the actual harvest falls below the chosen insured threshold.

Why it matters
The program provides a financial safety net for farmers by covering both winter and spring wheat crops. Farmers can select coverage levels of 70%, 80%, or 90%, with specific provisions for winter wheat crop failure.
