Background

The Risk Management Agency (RMA) has been advised that some processing tomato policy holders in California are at risk of losing coverage for their 2018 crop. Due to market conditions resulting in extended price negotiations, it is estimated that 30 percent to 40 percent of policy holders in California do not yet have a final contract price. A processor contract including a price per ton is a requirement to maintain insurance eligibility under the terms of coverage for the Processing Tomato Crop Provisions (05-087) (“policy”).

Background

The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Board of Directors approved the Dairy Revenue Protection (DRP) Plan of Insurance on February 13, 2018. DRP is a privately developed product that was approved under section 508(h) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act.

Background

Under the current SCO Endorsement, coverage automatically begins at 86 percent of the expected area yield or revenue and provides an insurance guarantee based on the gap between 86 percent and the coverage level of the underlying policy. Currently there is no mechanism to allow a producer to further customize the coverage. In order to give producers more flexibility, along with more opportunity to manage total premium cost, RMA is updating the SCO endorsement.
