Agriculture stakeholders engaged in aquaculture will soon be covered by crop insurance offered by the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation (PCIC). PCIC Officer-in-Charge Regional Manager Charlito O. Brilleta said they are just waiting for the fund for the program to take off following its approval although it is expected to be kicked off within the year. Currently, the PCIC offers six major insurance to include palay, corn, 44 high value commercial crops, agricultural facilities and farmer members.
