Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Crop insurance provides farmers with financial protection against losses due to unexpected events that can impact their crop yields. With the uncertainty of weather patterns and other uncontrollable factors, crop insurance can help ensure that farmers are able to recover their investment in the event of a loss.

To protect you from the inherent risks associated with growing crops, Crop Insurance can be arranged depending on the type of crop against fire and/or hail.

Either Pre-Harvest Revision or Post Harvest Declaration is available, and you can select an increased excess to reduce the premium and/or select optional reducing excess cover.
