Evaluation of the implementation of sustainable farming insurance in Indonesia

Abstract

The factors that influence a program's success determine targets as part of planning, resources, and communication. In contrast, previous research results suggest factors that influence farmers' interest in agricultural insurance are income, risk results, program support, and regional characteristics. This research aims to evaluate the implementation of Farming Insurance (AUTP/Asuransi Usaha Tani Padi) by identifying the conformity and gap between the implementation of farming insurance from 2015 to 2017. Furthermore, based on regression using the panel fixed effect model, the result shows that the variable number of civil servants instructors and risk on the previous year negatively affects the realization of farming insurance distribution on the eight equation models. This shows that civil servants instructors' performance is not yet optimal in supporting the implementation of farming insurance. The decline in civil servant's instructor performance is due to the difficulty in measuring the accountability of the civil servant instructor's performance. Therefore, accountability of the instructor's performance in supporting the program's implementation can be more measurable. As a recommendation, the government needs to start reviewing the Public-Private Partnership system to provide farming insurance to be implemented more broadly.
