Proposal forwarded to include coffee under crop insurance scheme, says Coffee Board President

The Coffee Board of India has forwarded a proposal to include coffee under the crop insurance scheme, aiming to provide financial protection to coffee growers against crop losses due to adverse weather conditions and other risks. The proposal, if approved, will benefit thousands of coffee farmers across the country, ensuring they have access to insurance coverage that can mitigate the impact of crop failures. The Coffee Board’s initiative is part of a broader effort to support the agricultural sector and enhance the resilience of coffee growers. By including coffee in the crop insurance scheme, the government aims to promote sustainable farming practices and secure the livelihoods of farmers. The proposal has been welcomed by the coffee-growing community, which has long advocated for such measures to safeguard their interests. This move reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening the agricultural insurance framework and providing comprehensive risk management solutions to farmers.
