Makassar, S. Sulawesi (Antaranews Sulsel) - The Financial Service Authority (OJK) said 7,747 cows in South Sulawesi had been insured to state-owned general insurance company PT Asuransi Jasa Indonesia (Jasindo) until April, 2018.
Head of the Region 5 Financial Economic Development and Partnership Department of the OJK covering Sulawesi, Maluku and Papua, Muhammad Yusuf said Jasindo has yet to work hard to reach its target this year.
"By April, 2018, insurance already covered 7,747 cows from various areas in South Sulawesi, but harder work is still needed to reach the target," Yusuf said without giving figure for the target.
He said South Sulawesi has quite large number of cows, found in a number of district areas such as Sinjai, Bulukumba, Gowa and Bone.
The districts contributed more than 50 percent to the number of cows insured, he said.
He said OJK and Jasindo would seek to encourage livestock farmers to ensure their livestock.
Deputy chairman of the Makassar branch of Jasindo Wahyu said the insurance company has set a target that it would provide insurance protection for around 22,500 cows in South Sulawesi in 2018.
"We will continue to convince the farmers of the importance of insurance for their livestock," he said.
He said in 2017, around 13,000 cows from various areas in South Sulawesi were insured to Jasindo. (AS)
