Do you have a farm or does your business depend on the inflow of commodities from the agricultural sector? Then you realise only too well that the yield of agricultural fields varies as a result of the fluctuating climate. Mother Nature is unpredictable. Crop insurance protects fields, crops and the continuity of your business against loss due to the climate.

Our experts rely on data, statistics, local sampling and satellite images. In case of damage, we take immediate action.
When damage occurs early in the season, a replanting indemnity is paid which allows the farmer to replant immediately.
For damage occurring later in the season, we base payouts on data and statistics.
A second opinion from an on-site expert can clarify the matter in case of doubt.
Our experts know all the available insurance solutions on the market. They discuss with you the risks to your business and identify them in a clear way. The result is a tailor-made insurance solution.
Our specialists always look for the most comprehensive covers. Our solid international network guarantees us expertise abroad at the local level. This also makes Vanbreda the perfect partner for multinational companies.
Thanks to our extensive client portfolio and our strong market position, we obtain conditions at the most competitive premiums.
The agricultural production chain is very diverse. Both seed producers and farmers, as well as logistics companies, production companies and retailers need solutions when the harvest is insufficient.
The Flemish government’s disaster fund will be phased out by 2025. You may no longer be able to bear or calculate new risks yourself. Vanbreda meets the government’s requirements as subsidiser and helps your business with customised solutions.
To ease the transition between disaster fund and insurance, the government offers a subsidy when you take out crop insurance.

The fields in our country have been suffering from erratic weather conditions for some time now. To protect their crop yields against extreme weather phenomena, many Flemish farmers and horticulturists are resorting to crop insurance. Companies that depend on this sector for their production process also benefit from this type of insurance, Veerle Geudens argues. Our in-house expert on climate and agriculture outlines the need and emphasises the added value for businesses.
In the fourth episode of our podcast ‘Succes Verzekerd’, agriculture and climate expert Veerle Geudens talks about climate risks. She takes a close look at how farms and production companies can use crop insurance to protect themselves against the consequences of climate change.
Being a farmer is not a profession without risk, because there is always one unpredictable element present: the weather. The weather can sometimes be irregular and devastating, as the heat waves, heavy downpours and hail storms of the last years have regularly shown. In addition, the Flemish government is now gradually reducing its disaster fund. The farmer therefore has to bear these risks himself, although he can insure himself against them risk through a so-called comprehensive weather insurance.
