Transit Insurance

The transporting and slaughtering of animals always include a certain amount of risk. Agra manages comprehensive transit insurance, covering animals from loading onto the abattoir floor, at a minimal cost. Carcasses that are degraded due to specific diseases as well as bruises, are included in the insurance.

 

Loading & Off-loading All losses due to injury or animals running away.
Transport Animal loss and / or injury due to an accident. Animals loss due to transport - excluding those animals that were in a poor condition when loaded.
Holding Pens Animals injured or lost (injury or theft) in the holding pens at the abattoir.
Losses due to Post mortem (diseases & bruising) The difference between compensation payment by the abattoir and the 100% value of carcass.

 

 

Transit Insurance Cost

Insurance is available at 0,5% of the gross value of the carcass value of the load.

 

 

Abattoir Services

Agra is represented at the Meatco Abattoirs (Windhoek and Okahandja) and can provide a monitoring service for producers. Agra can monitor the slaughtering process and ensure that the correct documented results reach the producer as quickly as possible.
