Core Viewpoint - The "insurance + futures" model serves as an innovative approach in China's insurance market, leveraging the price discovery and hedging functions of the futures market to provide pricing references and risk transfer channels for agricultural products, thereby supporting rural revitalization and the development of a strong agricultural nation [1][2]. Summary by Sections 1. Overview of the "Insurance + Futures" Model - The model has positively impacted farmers' income protection, stable supply and pricing of primary agricultural products, and high-quality development of rural industries, covering 18 agricultural products and reaching 5.39 million households across 1,224 counties in 31 provinces [1][2]. 2. Innovations of the Model - It provides an effective way to disperse agricultural price risks, offering two main product types: "price insurance + futures" and "income insurance + futures," which address price risk that traditional agricultural insurance does not cover [2]. - The model facilitates small farmers' access to the futures market, enhancing market activity and promoting the development of China's futures market [2]. 3. Challenges Facing the Model - There are significant issues in the operational mechanisms and management systems of the "insurance + futures" model, despite its expansion and diversification in agricultural products [3]. 4. Discrepancies in Nature and Positioning - There are differing views on whether the model is primarily an insurance product or a futures product, with implications for risk-bearing and revenue generation [4]. 5. Lack of Stable Premium Sharing Mechanism - The model lacks a stable premium-sharing mechanism, as it is not included in the central government's agricultural insurance premium subsidy policies, leading to variability in project sustainability [5]. 6. Differences in Participation Enthusiasm - Insurance companies are less enthusiastic about participating in the model due to limited revenue from "price insurance + futures" projects and higher risks associated with "income insurance + futures" projects [6]. 7. Multi-Agency Regulatory Challenges - The model faces regulatory challenges due to overlapping supervisory roles from different financial regulatory bodies, complicating its classification and treatment under existing regulations [7]. 8. Pricing and Operational Irregularities - There are issues with pricing transparency and operational norms, leading to potential exploitation and inefficiencies in the model [8]. 9. Recommendations for Optimizing the Model - The core goal is to enhance collaboration between insurance and futures markets to improve agricultural price risk management [9]. 10. Allowing Insurance Companies to Participate in Futures Trading - A proposed reform is to allow insurance companies to engage in agricultural futures trading, which could streamline operations and enhance risk management capabilities [10]. 11. Characteristics of the Proposed "Insurance-Futures" Model - The new model would allow insurance companies to directly participate in futures trading, expanding their operational scope while maintaining a focus on risk hedging [11]. 12. Feasibility of Participation - Insurance companies have accumulated experience in managing financial derivatives, providing a solid foundation for their participation in agricultural futures trading [13]. 13. Benefits of Allowing Participation - This change could better meet farmers' risk protection needs, establish a premium subsidy system, enhance pricing mechanisms, and regulate market behaviors [14][15][16]. 14. Necessary Supporting Reforms - Key reforms include establishing detailed regulations for insurance funds in futures trading, revising accounting rules for agricultural insurance, and enhancing external regulatory frameworks [17][18].
