You need to contact your insurance agent or Heritage Insurance directly where you shall be given a proposal form to complete. The insurer will visit your farm to do a pre-cover assessment and advise you on the premium payable for the risks proposed to be covered.

A completed proposal form with the following information:

• Farm Management Practices

• Geographical Location

• Historical Yield and Loss Data

• Climatic (Weather) Conditions

• Types of Crops

• Markets

• Value of Crops.

• Cost of production.

The amount payable depends on several factors that include; For livestock insurance; number of animals, value, past history (of animals and the insured). For crop insurance, historical yield records and weather climatic conditions of the area matter a lot, and above all your experience of management.

There are two options available. These are:

  • Indemnity covers, that covers either the cost of production or the expected yield.
  • Index-based insurance, that cushions the farmer in the event of drought or excessive rainfall only.

Farmers use crop insurance to recover from natural disasters and volatile market fluctuations; pay their bankers, and their suppliers, and purchase farming inputs. This enables them to have the confidence to make long-term investments to increase product efficiency
