Crop Insurance Fails Kashmir's Fruit Economy

Crop Insurance Fails Kashmir's Fruit Economy

Farmers in Kashmir, especially those growing apples, are having a hard time because the crop insurance system isn't working well.

The rules say that insurance companies have to bid for all crops in a group, but they can't do this for apples because there's no official way to measure how many apples are grown.

This makes it hard for farmers to get the insurance they need to protect their crops.
