Apr 2011 The agricultural insurance specialist MAMDA has launched a major awareness-raising campaign for farmers to encourage them to underwrite a hail policy covering cereals and arboriculture.
Hail insurance is subsidized by the State up to 40% of the premiums, with farmers being eligible to it, regardless of the nature of their crops and their area of operation. Following the damages sustained by crops in 2009 and 2010, the ministries of agriculture and finance along with MAMDA signed an agreement designed to promote hail insurance.
