Farming is one of mankind’s greatest achievements. Over the centuries, it has evolved into a sophisticated science, allowing us to maximise output while maintaining sustainability. Despite modern techniques, there are still numerous risks and challenges facing farmers and their crops. As your partner in agriculture, we understand that effective risk management is crucial. We offer more than insurance expertise; we invest in our own research into conditions affecting crops and use this knowledge to advise and create effective risk management solutions for a sustainable future.
Ground-breaking technology
Farming is complicated enough – we don’t want to make it more so. We use the latest technology to offer simplicity and efficiency. A dedicated IT infrastructure and IT team result in effective crop insurance administration that can produce accurate reporting and analysis at any level of detail required.
World-class crop insurance
Our crop insurance solutions are designed on the back of extensive experience, in-depth research, and a thorough understanding of the agriculture sector. From our Hail, Fire, Multi Peril or Sundry insurance offerings, we have you covered.
Sharing in-depth knowledge and understanding
We have comprehensive knowledge and experience, understanding the fundamentals of farming and the integral role that conditions play in responsible agriculture. We use this understanding to not only devise our innovative products but to inform our clients of all risks and help them manage them proactively.
To fully understand the conditions that crops experience, Santam Agriculture established a research farm in Mooihoek near Bloemfontein – the first and only South African insurer to do so. The scientific research done in conjunction with other agriculture business research partners provides us with invaluable information about the potential damage to crops at various growth stages. The effect of hail damage on crops is a specific study we undertake and demonstrates how our commitment to insight and innovation adds value for farmers and producers.
Our commitment to providing excellent products and services is aided by the pursuit of innovation-led solutions. Our dedicated IT team manages a computer system specifically designed for effective crop insurance administration. We are also able to produce accurate reporting and analysis at any level of detail required. What’s more, we recently implemented a mobile application facilitating the claims assessment procedures and completion of inspection reports for Multi-Peril Crop Insurance.
A farm consists of more than crops, including vehicles, buildings, farm implements and computer equipment. And every single item plays a vital role in keeping your farm working. We offer specialised asset insurance that is particular to your specific sector. We go beyond crop insurance and offer farmers insurance that covers property, vehicles, liability, guesthouses and much more. Whichever sector you’re in, you will find the expert cover to protect your business and livelihood.
