About premiums
Premium rates are cost-shared with government.
- 60% of premiums is paid by federal and provincial governments, plus all administrative costs.
- 40% of premiums is paid by customers.
The rates Agricorp publishes represent the customer portion of the premium. Premium rates are set annually and are based on commodity prices and past claims.
Your premium = premium rate × total insurable value*
*Determined by multiplying the insurable value for each crop by the number of acres you plant.
