Policy
Certified organic production has increased over the past decade, expanding to nearly 5 million acres of U.S. cropland.1 Organic operations have different needs than their conventional counterparts, and producers can often expect higher prices for their goods. To address market differences, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency (RMA) offers crop insurance options designed to protect organic producers from yield and revenue losses.
Individual crop coverage with organic price election
Organic producers can protect their operations from loss due to natural perils such as hail, drought, wind, frost, excess moisture, disease, and pest infestations with crop insurance for individual commodities.
