Development Strategies on Agricultural Insurance under the Building of New Countryside

It will be impossible to develop modern agriculture actively and accelerate new socialist countryside construction effectively without support and protection of agricultural insurance, which acts as both “stabilizer” and “booster”. The author did empirical research on this issue based on the questionnaire survey and statistical data from 1998 to 2009, and then revealed four problems on agricultural insurance development and five original causes. Furthermore, the author proposed seven suggestions for practical economic decision-makers on how to develop agricultural insurance and promote new countryside construction.
