In many countries around the globe, governments strive to help farmers produce more to ensure self-reliance in food production. To encourage farmers to opt for unconventional or risky agriculture production methods, governments often offer subsidies on insurance premiums. Farmers who buy insurance premiums for agriculture businesses have a big advantage as they are in place to recover their losses in crops, animals and farm inputs.
