Cultivators and growers face a variety of risks that can easily be mitigated with the proper insurance coverage.
Cultivators and growers have many of the same insurance needs as any business, including general liability, product liability and property insurance. Product liability is especially important due to exposure from mislabeling products as well as the potential for lawsuits from the unexpected or unwanted effects of consumption of their product. Crop and stock and inventory coverage are also very important.
Here are the most common coverages for cultivators and growers:
General Liability
Product Liability
Property Insurance
Stock and Inventory
Loss of Income
Crop Coverage
Equipment Coverage
Property in Transit/Cargo
