OUR INSURANCE

Our platform brings a number of Unique insurance products to supports farmers and businesses.

We all will acknowledge that no two farms and regions are the same. The soil conditions, the farmers operations, the resource usage and hence the exposure to a risk event will be different. Hence we focus more on understanding the farms better and how they respond to the Perils rather than a traditional transactions driven insurance model. We are providing the following Insurance products to the market:

What is a Parametric Insurance Product?

Traditional multi-peril crop cover are not readily available given the lack of (recent) farming history for the crop in many regions. We currently however have several options and coverages available.

A Parametric insurance product on the other hand provides coverage against specific perils for the food producers and processors during the growing season.

Typically, the parameters or the indices are designed by Agvesto and our Underwriting partners. These indices can closely explain the crop loss due to an event.

For example, in case of an ‘excess heat’ cover, for a given farm location, the index can be engineered by tracking the daily temperature observed.

The payout will then be determined by observing this parameter/index during the season.

What type of Cover as a farmer or an agribusiness can get?

As a farm business, you can get coverage for various perils that you are concerned about. These can be as below:

Drought
Excess heat
Excess Precipitation
Flood
Cyclone
Hail
