Welcome to the WTW Nitrogen Risk Insurance program developed specifically for Queensland’s sugarcane farmers to provide peace of mind by covering the risk of yield shortfall from reducing Nitrogen rates. Optimising nitrogen application at times of high fertiliser costs is an important business consideration for farmers.

The Nitrogen Risk Insurance program is available in 2023 to sugarcane farmers for ratoon crops in specified sugarcane growing regions from Northern Cairns to Southern Tully, Herbert and Mackay.  Farmers can insure one, some, or all their blocks providing complete control over the buying decision.  The program covers ratoon crops harvested from June to December.  Purchases must be made by the last day of the month before the crop is harvested with cover commencing on the 15th day of the following month.

To assist in generating a quote that is tailored to your crop we have created the Indicative Quote Tool which is launched by clicking on the launch tool arrow below.  This tool is designed to help you pinpoint your crop region and soil type accurately and provide an indication of cost for Nitrogen cover.
