Cagayan (North) ARBs receive ARB-AIP certificates of insurance coverage

The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Regional Office 02 in Tuguegarao City distributed on August 7, 2013 during the opening ceremonies of the 4th CARPER Anniversary celebrations at the Crown Pavilion and Hotel some 696 certificates of insurance coverage (CIC) under the DAR-DA/PCIC Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries-Agricultural Insurance Program (ARB-AIP).
The insurance program benefits some 696  agrarian reform beneficiaries (first batch) who are members in some 16 agrarian reform beneficiary organizations (ARBOs) in Cagayan province.
          The ARB-AIP is a P17.1 billion crop insurance coverage plan between the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation (PCIC), an attached agency of the Department of Agriculture (DA), wherein the DAR shall provide a premium subsidy worth P1 billion.
The ARB-AIP will provide protection for over 224,000 agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) and members of their households who are farming around 330,000 hectares of land and raising approximately 30,700 farm animals nationwide. DAR shall identify who are the qualified ARBs under the program.
It is a safety net for ARBs against losses caused by crop pests, diseases; losses from damage of farm machineries; and also from the devastating unpredictable weather patterns due to climate change.
In addition, an ARB shall receive protection against loss of life or limbs under an Accident and Dismemberment Security Scheme.
The distribution ceremony was attended by DAR USEC Jose Z. Grageda, DAR Director Nestor Bayoneto, DAR Regional Director Marjorie P. Ayson, the different provincial and municipal agrarian reform officers, city and municipal mayors from the region, officials from DA-PCIC, and officers of the different ARBOs from Cagayan Valley, among others. /christiandsales
