China's Ministry of Finance, jointly with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Financial Regulatory Administration and the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, issued an Implementation Plan (Cai Jin [2026] No. 88) to accelerate high‑quality development of agricultural insurance. The plan sets 2030 targets to build a multi‑layer agricultural insurance system aligned with farm risk needs and modern agriculture and to reach an internationally advanced level. Measurable targets include: raise agricultural insurance depth—the ratio of agricultural insurance premiums to primary‑industry value added—to 1.9% by 2030; increase agricultural insurance density (no numeric target disclosed); and lift agricultural insurance technology‑investment intensity—the ratio of insurers' tech innovation spending (staff costs, tech service fees, tech intangible and fixed assets) to premiums—to 1% by 2030.
