Case Study: Punkin Center Gins protects revenue from low cotton yields with Arbol

How Arbol saved a Texas cotton gin during a crop disaster

Punkin Center Gins, a cotton ginning business, faced significant financial risk due to unpredictable climate events that could drastically reduce the cotton yield it depended on for revenue. To protect against this challenge, the business turned to vendor Arbol and implemented its parametric Area Yield Index product, which is designed to protect against crop disaster.

Arbol's solution used trusted third-party data from dClimate to trigger payouts automatically and objectively, eliminating the need for lengthy claims processes. When low cotton yields occurred, Punkin Center Gins received a crucial payment from Arbol. This result saved the business from financial disaster, providing a major portion of its annual income during a year when it had processed only 6,600 bales of cotton.
