Beat the Deadline: Regional Schedule for Submitting Crop Insurance Applications

Farmers in Kazakhstan can now protect their upcoming crops from unpredictable weather conditions. On December 8, 2025, the Agrarian Credit Corporation (ACC) officially opened the submission of applications for drought insurance of spring crops for the 2026 season.
The key news for agricultural producers is that the unprecedented government support remains unchanged. As in the previous season, the state covers 80% of the insurance premium. This means a farmer only needs to contribute 20% to obtain full insurance coverage.
Climate risks in Kazakhstan continue to grow each year. Soil moisture deficit has become the main threat to farm profitability. The insurance product offered by the ACC is based on an index model, which removes the human factor entirely:
• No field commissions: there is no need to wait for an inspector to evaluate crop damage.
• Satellite monitoring: soil moisture levels are measured from space.
• Automatic payouts: if the system detects drought (trigger activated), compensation is issued automatically.
Application Deadlines
Contract deadlines are strictly regulated. To receive the subsidy and insure fields, applications must be submitted before the following dates:
