On June 23, the 17th Chaonan Leiling Lychee Cultural Tourism Festival was held in Leiling Town, Chaonan District, Shantou City, vividly demonstrating the joy and joy of the local people celebrating the lychee harvest.
Affected by extreme weather, the output of lychee in various producing areas has decreased this year, which is considered to be a rare "small year". Shantou Branch of Chinese People's Property & Casualty Insurance Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "PICC Property & Casualty Shantou Branch"), as a group support unit of Shantou Municipal Task Force in Leiling Town to help towns and villages, has actively participated in the high-quality development process of Leiling lychee industry in recent years. Through agricultural insurance such as Lingnan characteristic fruit planting and fruit loss insurance, it provides a solid guarantee for fruit farmers to grow without worry.
PICC Property & Casualty Shantou Branch donated disaster prevention and loss prevention materials to Leiling.
Provide unmanned flight defense services for 100 acres of lychee orchards
In Jimei Village, Leiling Town, the staff is skillfully deploying pesticides and fertilizers, and using plant protection drones to spray 100 acres of lychee orchards. It is understood that this is a third-party professional organization invited by the Shantou Branch of PICC Property Insurance to carry out the flight anti-spraying operation. Compared with the traditional way, unmanned flight defense can play the role of "fast, uniform and accurate".

"In view of the continuous heavy precipitation this year, we have made every effort to promote the integrated construction of 'protection, prevention, rescue and compensation' to protect the income of fruit farmers as much as possible." Zheng Weiqiang, manager of the Shantou Chaonan branch of PICC Property Insurance, said. Since April, lychee trees are in the fruit-bearing period, but Guangdong has entered the "dragon boat water" season, and the phenomenon of lychee fruit drop and fruit cracking is frequent.
In this regard, PICC Property & Casualty Shantou Branch provides farmers with agricultural material support such as compound fertilizer and trace element water-soluble fertilizer, and invites third-party professional institutions to carry out flight defense operations, with a service area of more than 100 acres, escorting the smooth listing of Leiling lychee.
Promote the upgrade from post-disaster compensation to pre-disaster prevention
Up to now, PICC P&C Shantou Branch has insured a total of more than 21,000 mu of Leiling lychees in 2024, providing a full-process risk insurance amount of 63 million yuan.
"Lingnan specialty fruit planting and fruit loss insurance and other types of insurance are applicable to Leiling lychee, and fruit farmers can get corresponding compensation if they are affected by pests and diseases and natural disasters during planting and harvesting." Zheng Weiqiang said that the biggest feature of this insurance is that it covers a wide range of areas, including two parts: compensation for loss of fruit trees and compensation for loss of fruits.
The "insurance + agricultural service" service model helps Leiling Lychee to go public.
It is reported that the Shantou branch of PICC P&C will further expand the field of agricultural insurance services, and promote the upgrading from post-disaster compensation to pre-disaster prevention through agricultural technology training and exchanges, agricultural production disaster prevention and loss reduction technology promotion, etc. The service model of "insurance + agricultural service" can provide farmers with more comprehensive agricultural production services and risk protection, and contribute to the in-depth promotion of the "Millions and Thousands Project" in Shantou City.
