Core Viewpoint - The introduction of financial tools, particularly the "insurance + futures" model, is seen as a sustainable development path for agriculture in Wangqing County, which has faced challenges due to price volatility in crops like corn and soybeans [1][2][4]. Group 1: Agricultural Context - Wangqing County, located near the border with North Korea, has a population of 85,243, with 42.3% living in rural areas, making agriculture a crucial industry [1]. - The agricultural structure in Wangqing County for 2024 is projected at 21.1% for primary industry, 22.8% for secondary industry, and 56.1% for tertiary industry [1].
