Australia's vine and orchard growers can take up Liberty’s innovative bushfire and hail cover to protect against loss of earnings if their yield is impacted by hail damage or bushfire. Blending both parametric and traditional insurance principles, innovative satellite technology is used to calculate bushfire impact, and physical inspection by a loss adjuster helps calculate loss of yield in the event of hail damage.
Liberty is able to consider vineyards, nuts, olives, citrus, stonefruit and any other tree grown crop. Policies must be in place by the end of September ahead of the Australian summer growing season.
When vineyards and grapes are exposed to smoke this can result in wines with undesirable sensory characteristics, such as smoky, burnt, ashy or medicinal flavours.
Wine grape growers can protect themselves from financial loss if their grapes take on smoke taint caused by a nearby bushfire.
Liberty Specialty Markets offers a dedicated product that draws on satellite imagery to validate the significance of bushfire claims.
