Fresh Market Bean Crop Provisions Changes Effective for the 2025 and Succeeding Crop Years
Background
The Risk Management Agency (RMA) is issuing the following changes to the Fresh Market Bean crop insurance program.
For the 2025 and succeeding crop years:
- In Florida, expand insurance coverage to two counties and add a “winter” type.
- In North Carolina, allow producers to use their processing bean history to qualify for fresh market bean insurance coverage.
Action
The Fresh Market Bean Crop Provisions (25-0105) will be available by close of business today on the RMA website at www.rma.usda.gov.
Approved insurance providers must notify policyholders of these changes at least 30 days prior to the cancellation date, as required by the policy.
Interested producers should contact a crop insurance agent for further information. A list of agents can be found on the RMA website at www.rma.usda.gov/Information-Tools/Agent-Locator.
