AgriInsurance for Organic Crops

Insurance
Description:
AgriInsurance for Organic Crops reflects the additional value of organic production and recognizes the special management challenges associated with organic production. Insured under the AgriInsurance for Organic Crops program, producers receive higher dollar values and pay relatively higher premiums to reflect the higher risk and higher dollar value.
Comments on Funding:
To reflect the higher risk associated with organic production, organic premiums are higher than conventional crop premiums.
The premium cost is shared 40 per cent by the producer, 36 per cent by the Government of Canada, and 24 per cent by the Province of Manitoba.
A premium discount or surcharge will apply based on the producers loss experience.
