Earn profit despite the drought
You might want to protect your corn, soybean and sugar beet fields by a drought insurance coverage based on the index application, intended for entities and individuals - owners of cultivated land in the territory of AP Vojvodina, Belgrade and Mačva.
What do You need to know about this type of insurance?
- Covered risk is accumulated soil moisture deficit during the insurance period.
- Amount of insurance indemnity is determined based on the agreed model, phase, and level of soil moisture deficit (drought).
- The “place” category shall be deemed a basic territorial unit for which we do the measurement and set up the index level for the lack of soil moisture.
- The right to insurance indemnity arises when the accumulated daily soil moisture deficit relative to the long-term average is equal to, or above the agreed index limit.
- Depending on the level of index value deviation above the agreed limit, the soil moisture deficit layer is established for each phase, together with the amount of indemnity as the share of the sum insured.
- Total indemnity amount for the entire insurance period is the sum of shares of the sum insured established in both phases of the soil moisture deficit measurement.
