As noted by the President of the NRA of the Roots of Beidou this year in the Omsk region it already the second case - before the outbreak of ASF was recorded in the region in July. Only in 2017 from ASF affected farms in Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Vladimir and Belgorod regions.

"Achs is one of the fundamental problems of development of domestic livestock, - says the Roots of biggov. – Disease with no vaccine, the virus devastating for any economy, but especially for large agricultural holdings, losses which can be significant. The risk of ASF include the list covered by the insurance with state support".

According to NSA, in 2016, only two farms in the Omsk region has concluded contracts for insurance of animals with state support, was thus insured 52.5 thousand pigs. In the first half of this year on conditions of state support, it was also concluded two contracts, but the insured was already 178,5 thousand pigs.

As stressed Roots of bizdev, at meetings of professional agricultural communities, the representatives of the National Union of pig producers have repeatedly mentioned that the insurance Achs, in fact, helps them to keep the business, because such risks livestock producers face every year; due to a virus cost of the investment in the sector is increasing by 5-7%. When the detection of the virus because of the high probability of its spread destroyed all the livestock in the region of a quarantine. Loss households are often tens and sometimes hundreds of millions of rubles. Only direct losses from ASF over the past 10 years, experts estimated at 5 billion, indirect losses are estimated at 50-70 billion rubles. As for financial recovery Achs agriculture will need at least one to two years. In these cases, the protection of business owners will provide insurance benefit on the condition that they signed a contract. However, not everyone can take advantage of state support: because of the inclusion of the costs of the insurance "single" subsidy with the General decline of the amount of subsidy opportunities for regional agricultural agencies limited.
