Protect your export shipments from farm gate to final destination. Marine transit, buyer default, letter of credit, and political risk coverage for commercial farmers doing cross-border trade.
Four specialized trade insurance products covering every risk in the agricultural export chain.
Coverage for agricultural cargo during ocean, road, rail, and air transit from farm gate to final destination. Protects against damage, loss, contamination, and delay.
Protection when an international buyer fails to pay for delivered goods. Covers insolvency, protracted default, and disputed invoices on confirmed contracts.
Coverage for non-payment under confirmed letters of credit. Protects against issuing bank failure, documentary discrepancies, and political interference.
Protection against government actions that prevent contract fulfillment or payment transfer. Essential for trading into higher-risk markets.
