Comprehensive cover
There’s more to farming insurance than protecting crops and assets. Our comprehensive cover also protects you from exposure to liabilities on your farms due to property damage, fire, dam wall damage, death or injuries, product liability and much more.
Specialist solutions
The agricultural industry consists of numerous sectors, each with its own specialist equipment and requirements to keep farms running. Ranging from pivot irrigation systems to livestock, our specialist products have been designed to suit all agricultural needs.
Added safety with our 24/7 SOS solutions
When you run into trouble, you need a quick, reliable response.
A farm consists of more than crops, including vehicles, buildings, farm implements, and computer equipment. We go beyond crop insurance and offer farmers asset insurance that covers property, vehicles, liability, guesthouses and more.
Whether big or small, your farm is your lifeblood. And the crops that grow there sustain it. As your partner in agriculture, we invest in effective risk management to help you create a sustainable future. Our vast experience, country-wide infrastructure and comprehensive offering allow us to offer you the best crop insurance for your needs.
Wildfires are a major concern in rural South Africa, threatening the financial and socio-economic well-being of farmers, communities and the agricultural sector. Santam provides fire insurance protection for farmers, as well as supports efforts to bring together research, technology and expertise to create fire-safe environments. Through our thorough understanding of the risks of wildfire, we include fire extinguishing charges as part of our offering.
The agricultural sector covers a varied range of industries – from fruit and poultry to game farming and wine. And so do we. We offer sector-specific insurance solutions backed by industry-related knowledge and experience, allowing us to deliver specialised insurance that meets the needs of all farmers.
South Africa ranks eighth among the largest wine-producing countries in the world. We have taken the time to truly understand this dynamic industry and offer wine farm solutions that provide fire cover, crop cover, extended liability, accidental loss or damage and more.
