Field assessment after April frosts
PIB Group Iberia supports farmers after the frosts
It is common knowledge that the frosts at the beginning of April have been historic. They have caused losses of up to 100% of production. Night temperatures in the Ebro valley dropped to -6º C and were felt in important fruit growing areas -both stone and pip- in the province of Lleida, in the regions of La Litera and Bajo Cinca (Huesca) and in La Almunia de Doña Godina and Calatayud (Zaragoza).(Source: Agroseguro).
PIB Group Iberia’s commitment to the agricultural sector
At PIB Group Iberia, we want to be at the side of the customers who have chosen us for their agricultural insurance. During this month we have made field trips, we have been trained and we have received the Agroseguro board of directors to convey the concerns of farmers affected by these frosts.
Our agricultural experts in the field
From day one we have been at the side of the main affected party: the farmer. Our team of agricultural loss adjusters has been in constant contact with our clients, answering all their calls and doubts, advising them when making claims, making field visits and managing their agricultural claims.
In order to optimize the response to this type of disaster, we ensure that our clients have adequate coverage, including subsidized agricultural insurance and customized solutions for each farm (see agricultural insurance coverage).
Field training for the agricultural insurance department
In order to manage agricultural insurance in the best way, it is necessary to understand what the farmer needs. It is essential that those who manage insurance and claims have first-hand knowledge of how loss adjusting works. For this reason, during this month we have conducted field training for our entire agricultural insurance team.
During this training, our experts Dolors Gòdia and Jordi Martín taught managers and technicians everything there is behind a claim. The general impression of this day has been very positive and the agricultural insurance department has described it as “very interesting” and “very necessary for their work”.
We received Agroseguro’s board of directors
On April 12 we received in our offices in Seròs part of the management team of Agroseguro.
We were visited by Sergio de Andrés, director of production and communication; Félix Novoa, director of the technical area; Almudena Guijarro, head of the studies department; and Xavier Joana, territorial director of the Catalunya area.
We received them at our offices and after a short meeting we went to visit some of the fields affected by the frost. During the visit we shared with them the concerns and comments of our clients about frost indemnities and the management of agricultural claims.
Commitment to our customers
We know that customers who choose us do so because of our agricultural customer service. For this reason, we promise to be up to the task, offering personalized advice and solutions adapted to each farm. In addition, we recommend farmers to learn more about the Agricultural Insurance Plan 2025, which introduces improvements in insurance coverage and conditions.(More information on the Agricultural Insurance Plan 2025
