Insurers refuse to sell drought policies

Farmers are alarming that the lack of rain may cause more damage than last year, when losses amounted to PLN 2.6 billion. In some parts of the country, the last rainfall occurred in early March and the experts claim that the situation is dangerous. Damage to crops is difficult to assess today, but insurers refuse to sell policies from drought.
“It requires monitoring and justifies anxiety … At least a few days of constant rainfall are needed for the earth to slowly absorb the water,” Professor Andrzej Kowalski, director of the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Food Economy, admits.
