In the "Proagro: what changes in rural insurance for small and medium farmers? | Rural Channel" YouTube video, speaker Geovan discusses recent modifications to the Proagro program, designed for small and medium agricultural producers. Effective July 1, changes include a reduction in mandatory enrollment limits and coverage values, aiming to save R 935 million in the second half of 2022 and R 2 billion in 2025. The first resolution simplifies the indemnification process, allowing producers with loans to receive less than their policy value. The second resolution reduces the annual rental payment for minimum income. The third resolution introduces agricultural risk zoning, which affects coverage based on climate risks. Farmers planting in higher-risk periods may receive reduced coverage. Producers with larger credits can opt out of Proagro or choose private insurance. The government provides supplementation to the Program of Subsidies to Rural Insurance premiums to make insurance more accessible. Farmers are encouraged to understand these rules and possibly conduct new soil analyses. Overall, these changes aim to make insurance more accessible and affordable for farmers.

The changes, effective as of July 1, include a reduction in the mandatory enrollment limit and the value of coverage and guarantees in certain cases. These measures aim to reduce public spending, according to the Central Bank's calculations, with an estimated reduction of R 935 million in the second half of this year and R 2 billion in 2025. The first resolution simplifies the indemnification process for both producers and financial institutions, allowing the producer to receive a percentage less than their policy value if they have a loan. The second resolution reduces the annual rental payment for minimum income. The third resolution introduces agricultural risk zoning as a parameter for indemnization, meaning that the policy amount will be lower for producers in areas with higher climate risks.

For instance, if a farmer plants in a period of 40% risk, the coverage drops to 50%. The producer must understand these rules and possibly conduct a new soil analysis to determine the soil type on their property and the rules of zoning periods for planting. The limit of mandatory Proagro enrollment for a 335,000 annual credit has been reduced to 270,000. Producers with a credit value above 270,000 can be exempt from Proagro coverage or opt for a private agricultural insurance instead. These changes aim to reduce the deficit and maintain protection for farmers, with the government providing significant supplementation to the Program of Subsidies to Rural Insurance (PSR) premiums to make insurance more accessible. Farmers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with these resolutions, particularly regarding agricultural zoning. Overall, these changes aim to make insurance more accessible and affordable for farmers.
