Comprehensive cover for farmers

The Farmers' Social Insurance Institution (Mela) provides your enterprise with a comprehensive insurance cover, supplemented by the solutions included in the full cover for farmers. Farmers’ pension insurance (MyEL) is the foundation of your social security. Farmers’ occupational accident insurance (MATA), in turn, is a statutory insurance against accidents and occupational diseases caused by agricultural work. MATA is automatically valid as part of the mandatory MyEL insurance policy. We recommend that you also protect your free time with a comprehensive leisure-time accident insurance (leisure-time MATA).

Ensure that your insurance cover at the Farmers' Social Insurance Institution (Mela) is up to date. Remember to also report any income from a subsidiary occupation to Mela.

If you have subsidiary occupation activities in accordance with the Act on the Taxation of Business Profits and Income from Professional Activity, you must insure the working hours of the subsidiary occupation separately with self-employed persons’ accident insurance. Remember to insure leisure time too.
