Claim price

  • Used to calculate any potential claim under production loss coverage.
  • Set by Agricorp.
  • Based on crop-specific information from the Ontario Processing Vegetable Growers (OPVG).

For tomatoes, the claim price is based on 90% of the current year's estimated blend price by processor. Each processor provides their estimated blend price information to the OPVG, who then provides it to Agricorp. The estimated blend price is calculated using:

  • Current year's contract price of juice, whole peel, paste, and bulk paste
  • Previous year's end-use percentage of juice, whole peel, paste, or bulk paste
  • Current year's productivity factor
