What you get
Andhra Pradesh implements the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) in the state with additional state support, registering eligible farmers' notified crops for insurance coverage through e-crop booking at Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBKs). The scheme compensates registered farmers for yield losses due to natural calamities, pests and diseases, based on assessed crop loss. Premium-sharing arrangements have changed over recent years, so farmers should confirm current premium and coverage terms at their local RBK before the cut-off date each season.
