PT Asuransi Jasindo is accelerating the verification and disbursement\nof claims under the Rice Farming Business Insurance (AUTP) for farmers\nimpacted by floods in Lamongan, East Java. This initiative aims to\nmaintain production continuity while bolstering the national food\nself-sufficiency target.<\/p>\n
Jasindo\u2019s Company Secretary, Brellian Gema Widayana, stated that the\nacceleration of claims is in response to rising climate risks. \u201cWe are\nstrengthening technical reserves, optimising reinsurance, and\nimplementing integrated risk management to address potential surges in\nclaims,\u201d said Brellian on Tuesday (21\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
Brellian explained that AUTP is designed as a protective instrument\nagainst crop failure risks due to floods, droughts, and pest or disease\nattacks. In addition to speeding up claims, Jasindo is also conducting\neducation on adaptive planting patterns to reduce the impacts of extreme\nweather.<\/p>\n
\u201cAUTP provides protection against rice crop damage from floods,\ndroughts, to attacks by plant-disturbing organisms,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The programme targets farmers in farming groups with a maximum land\narea of two hectares per planting season. This scheme forms part of the\nprotections outlined in the Farmer Protection and Empowerment Law.<\/p>\n
Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman views collaboration among\nstakeholders as a determining factor. \u201cCollaboration is key. Without\nsynergy between central and regional levels, the food self-sufficiency\ntarget will not be optimally achieved,\u201d said Amran.<\/p>\n
Amran noted that the government has allocated support for AUTP\npremiums in 13 provinces through the regional budget in 2026. This\nsupport is directed towards maintaining the sustainability of farming\nbusinesses amid climate pressures.<\/p>\n
Director General of Agricultural Infrastructure and Facilities, Andi\nNur Alam Syah, stated that AUTP serves as a production buffer. \u201cWith\ncoverage value up to Rp6 million per hectare per planting season, this\nprogramme keeps the production cycle running,\u201d said Andi.<\/p>\n
Claim disbursements are carried out through regional agencies in\ncooperation with PT Pos Indonesia to ensure funds reach farmers quickly.\nThis acceleration is expected to enable farmers to promptly replant\nwithout capital constraints.<\/p>\n
Andi added that the AUTP premium of Rp180,000 per hectare per\nplanting season makes the programme relatively affordable. Government\nsupport for premiums demonstrates commitment to maintaining national\nfood production stability.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/rising-climate-risks-jasindo-accelerates-rice-farming-business-insurance-claims-1776775859", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
