Written by Miguel Crespín

The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock and the World Food Program (WFP), gave more than 4,300 small farmers in the country an insurance policy, which will be effective in case weather problems affect their crops.

The microinsurance coverage, granted by the United Nations World Food Program, amounts to US$500, which will be used to restart the production of basic food basket products, in case they are affected by any of the weather conditions.
