— RISK MANAGEMENT

Food, Agriculture & Beverage

Global market access, analytics-based solutions and an eye toward innovation.

A Focus on Your Needs

The production of crops, livestock, and processed food and beverage products is inherently risky, and the industry faces myriad threats, ranging from extreme weather to commodity price volatility. And only a limited subset of insurance brokers have the depth of knowledge to properly understand the complexity of food, agriculture and beverage industry exposures.

Lockton’s Food, Agriculture & Beverage Practice is committed to understanding these risks and providing innovative financial and risk management solutions that help protect the security and stability of the food supply chain. Unlike our competitors, who tend to apply a reactive strategy driven by market cycles and focused solely on pricing, we can be a trusted advisor that helps you build an optimal program that is balanced in terms of cost, breadth of coverage, and administrative ease.

We can directly access more markets than our competitors, who rely more extensively on wholesale intermediaries, adding frictional costs to the insurance transaction.
