This is not just an announcement. This scheme is a part of the official budget and is expected to be launched fully across Punjab in phases Very soon.

Crop Insurance Scheme Benefits:

This scheme is life-saving for farmers in Punjab because:

1. Unpredictable Weather: Pakistan faces floods, droughts, and heavy rains regularly.

2. Poor Farmers Have No Backup: Many small farmers don’t have savings or emergency funds.

3. Debt Crisis: After crop loss, many farmers take heavy loans and fall into a debt trap.

4. Mental Stress: Crop loss causes depression, financial ruin, and sometimes even harm theirself.

Now imagine: even if the crop fails, the farmer still gets money. He can survive, recover, and grow again. This is the power of crop insurance.
