Big insurance news for rural New Zealand 🌿🚜

If you're a farmer, grower, or anyone else working the land, this one's for you.

NZI recently announced a new partnership with Ag Guard – a specialist rural underwriting agency – and it's a move that I think is genuinely good news for rural Kiwis.

Here's the thing: rural insurance is not the same as regular business insurance. A dairy farm, an orchard – these businesses have risks that are completely unique.

What's changing:
🌾 Specialist rural underwriters – people who actually understand agriculture, not just insurance.
🌾 Tailored products for both commercial and personal rural cover.
🌾 Better cover and benefits – not just the same thing with a new logo.
🌾 A full digital system – faster, smoother, less paperwork.
🌾 Local underwriters based in the regions they serve.

And importantly – NZI still handles all claims. So the trust and backing of one of NZ's most established insurers stays firmly in place.

With over 70,000 rural businesses and 350,000 Kiwis working in farming, forestry and horticulture, rural New Zealand is the backbone of this country. It deserves insurance that actually understands its world.

If you're on an existing NZI rural policy, you'll transition across to Ag Guard at your next renewal. And if you're looking for new rural cover – now is a great time to have a conversation.

A couple were robbed at a New Zealand lakeside picnic — in broad daylight, with their baby right there — and their phones and AirPods were gone before they even noticed. 😡 Theft can happen anywhere in NZ, even at your favourite local spot. Are your belongings covered when you travel domestically?
