Fenalce Warns of Risk of Underfunding Agricultural Insurance and Requests Changes in Resource Allocation
The National Federation of Cereal, Legume, and Soybean Growers (Fenalce) asked the Ministry of Agriculture to adjust the resource allocation scheme for Agricultural Insurance Incentive (ISA), stating that differences in crop planting calendars in different regions of the country are not currently taken into account.
TL;DR
- Fenalce has requested the Ministry of Agriculture to adjust the resource allocation for the Agricultural Insurance Incentive (ISA).
- The current allocation model does not account for regional differences in crop planting calendars, leading to early depletion of funds.
- Producers of corn, soybeans, and beans are particularly affected as their planting cycles occur later in the year.
- Fenalce proposes programming resources based on planting windows, defining strategic crop criteria, and creating regional or crop-specific funds.
- These changes aim to ensure the incentive is available when needed and to provide more equitable access for producers.
- Failure to implement these changes risks premature exhaustion of ISA resources in the second half of 2026, compromising climate risk management and food supply.
