A new commercial insurance product from SafeHerb, a division of Specialty Program Group, provides a full suite of insurance protection for the cannabis and hemp industries.

SafeHerb’s Cannabis & Hemp Insurance offers “seed to sale” coverage, in-house loss control services and claims are handled by Avant Specialty Claims.

Kramer Hendricks, CIC, director of SafeHerb, said the product offers plant-touching businesses a full package policy including property and liability.

The SafeHerb coverage includes:

• General liability

The SafeHerb products cover both cannabis and hemp businesses from cultivation to distribution.

Coverage is available to:
