Free crop insurance for members
|
|
All
CANEGROWERS members will receive free basic crop insurance cover
in 2022, as part of a major new initiative being undertaken by
the grower organisation. The initiative, which will see every
member covered against fire, hail or transport losses to the value
of $35 per tonne, is aimed at lowering costs for growers.
"This
member benefit ensures that growers are covered against losses
via a basic crop insurance cover with an indemnity level of $35
per tonne with nil excess," CANEGROWERS CEO Dan Galligan said.
"CANEGROWERS has used our strong membership base and
experience in the insurance market to develop this competitive
product and the premium is being paid by the CANEGROWERS
organisation."
