About Wheat & Grain Insurance
Canterbury and Southland are the heartland of New Zealand's arable grain industry, growing wheat, barley, oats, and other cereals for milling, malting, and stockfeed. Arable growers face weather risks including waterlogging at sowing, late frosts, hailstorms at grain fill, and wet harvests. Crop insurance can protect yield and revenue, providing financial certainty for growers managing significant seasonal input costs.

Is multi-peril crop insurance available for NZ grain growers?
Yes, though it is less widely available than named perils cover. FMG and specialist brokers like AJG can structure multi-peril policies that guarantee a minimum yield or revenue. These are particularly valuable for large arable operations with significant input costs.
