Cannabis Crop & Cultivation Insurance
Crop and cultivation coverage protects a grower's most valuable asset — the plants themselves — plus harvested inventory, against covered perils like fire, theft, and equipment-related losses.
Crop & Cultivation Coverage for Cannabis Growers
For a cultivator, the plants are the business. A single climate-control failure, fire, or break-in can wipe out a harvest worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Standard farm and crop policies won't touch cannabis, so growers need specialty cannabis crop coverage built for the unique exposures of the plant.
Indoor, Greenhouse, and Outdoor
Coverage is underwritten differently by grow type:
- Indoor: Highly dependent on HVAC and lighting; equipment breakdown and power loss are major exposures
- Greenhouse: Adds weather and structural exposure on top of equipment risk
- Outdoor: Most exposed to weather, wildfire, and theft, and typically the hardest to insure
What Can Be Covered
- Living plants: Coverage for plants in the vegetative and flowering stages on a named-perils basis
- Harvested / finished stock: Drying, curing, and packaged inventory awaiting sale
- Fire & smoke: A leading cause of total cultivation losses
- Theft: A persistent risk given product value and limited banking
- Equipment breakdown: HVAC, lighting, and irrigation failures that damage a crop
- Mold & disease: Available from some carriers, often with conditions and lab/SOP requirements
How a Broker Helps
Crop limits, valuation (replacement cost vs. fair market), and perils differ sharply between specialty carriers. We match your grow type, security, and SOPs to the carrier most likely to offer broad terms and pay a claim — and we make sure your living-plant and finished-stock limits are set correctly so you're not underinsured at harvest.
