In cooperation with Texas Citrus Mutual, we are modifying the Texas Citrus Tree Crop Insurance Program to use a limb-diameter loss adjustment methodology, which is a more appropriate characterization of damage in a loss situation than the current scaffold limb method. We will also develop an Occurrence Loss Option (OLO) and a Comprehensive Tree Value Endorsement (CTVE) similar to the features added to the Florida Fruit Tree Pilot Crop Insurance Program in 2006 but, customized to the Texas production and market conditions. The development of these new features will significantly enhance the attractiveness and effectiveness of the insurance program as a risk management tool for Texas citrus producers. For more information, please contact our staff.
