Typhoon Danas and Agricultural Insurance

Typhoon Danas, which went through the Taiwan Strait and hit Chiayi and Tainan badly, caused heavy damage to Chiayi and Tainan's agriculture. For agricultural damage caused by natural disasters, the government will assess the severity of agricultural damage based on the "Agricultural Disaster Relief Measures" and decide whether to initiate "natural disaster relief". However, the entire assessment process is time-consuming and laborious, requiring a lot of manpower and time to conduct investigations and assessments, which is often not efficient to meet urgent needs. Let's take a look at Taiwan's agricultural insurance:

這次穿過台灣海峽從嘉南上路的Danas丹娜絲颱風對嘉南農業造成重創。天災造成的農業損害，政府一項會依據《農業災害救助辦法》，評估特定區域的農損嚴重程度，決定是否啟動「天災救助」，但是整個評估過程耗時費力，需要大量的人力及時間來進行調查及評估，常常緩不濟急。讓我們看一下臺灣的農業保險：
