Birth of the first agricultural mutual insurance companies to the creation of the MSA

It is during second half of the XIXème century that the farmers felt the need for a certain collective organization of their profession. To face the difficulties related to the destruction of their goods, their harvests or with the loss of their cattle, they created the first local mutual insurance companies.

At the beginning without defined legal status, these mutual insurance companies make considerable great strides on all the territory and one counts some up to 557 in 1889.

It is a law of July 4th, 1900 which devoted the existence of the mutual insurance companies guaranteeing the farmers against the risks being able to occur on the exploitations. These mutual insurance companies form the branch of the Agricultural Mutual benefit insurances (AMA), connects elder Agricultural Reciprocity. But the true Social Security is instituted by the law of April 5th, 1928, modified by that of April 30th, 1930; these laws make compulsory the constraint for all the employees and the participation of the employers. Thus the risks disease, maternity, death and old age are managed.

From this time, and with the institution of the family benefits for the employees then for the owners, one attends the birth of what will become the social branch of Agricultural Reciprocity. Helping itself of the structures in place and in particular cases " accidents" , the notion of social protection of paid and the new obligations that involves develop then near the farmers.

From 1940, under the supervision of the ministry for Agriculture, the MSA is confirmed officially as a company doctor whose mission is to manage the whole of the social risks of the agricultural policy-holders.

With the ordinance of October 4th, 1945, which affirms the principle of the universality of the Social security and envisages the maintenance of the plurality of the modes, the MSA continues its action in the agricultural medium and sets up in 1949 an elective system. The MSA is thus managed in a democratic and professional way.

Towards a total social protection of the agricultural world.

In the decades which follow, the MSA will act for the improvement of the social coverage of its nationals, paid or not paid, by widening its field of cover to new branches.

Philosophy of the MSA: Solidarity, responsibility, democracy

It is in its roots and its history that the MSA drew the essential values which always guided its action.

This philosophy is based obviously on the concept of mutualism to develop a true solidarity:

  • Solidarité enters the various generations

  • Solidarité between the many trades of agriculture and the professions appendices
  • Solidarité between agricultural areas to strong productivity and rural areas fragile
  • Solidarité between people in good health and patients or handicapped.

For the MSA, they are men and women responsible and interdependent who thus built their social protection system and who continue to manage it as well as possible interests of each one. A system where the democracy is not a vain word since its elective structure is based on the principle " A man, a voix" and represents all the components of the profession.
