Description

As part of the Authority's work to support a Productive and Resilient farming industry, we wish to understand whether in future we can expect greater demand for agricultural insurance and insurance-type products by the farming sector. The Authority are interested in those insurance products specifically aimed at agricultural risks, rather than standard business insurance such as buildings insurance, or mandatory insurance such as vehicle insurance.
