Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc., a leading global insurance group, is set to acquire Commodity & Ingredient Hedging (CIH), a Chicago-based provider of risk management solutions for the agricultural and commodity sectors. The acquisition enhances Tokio Marine’s speciality offerings in the US agricultural sector and expands its non-insurance risk solutions capabilities. It is expected to close during the first quarter of calendar year 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals. CIH, which is being acquired from Falfurrias Capital Partners, helps agricultural producers, grain merchandisers, and other businesses manage commodity price risk through an integrated suite of consulting, brokerage, and insurance services. The offering is powered by a proprietary technology platform. Susan Rivera, CEO of TMHCC, says the team has built an “impressive business that combines deep agricultural expertise with innovative technology to help clients manage price volatility”. Rivera adds: "This partnership expands our ability to deliver comprehensive risk solutions beyond traditional insurance and supports Tokio Marine Group's long-term strategy to grow through diversified, fee-based services". The combination will further strengthen the capabilities of Tokio Marine HCC's agricultural business and diversify the group's earnings. Pat Gregory, CEO of CIH, says joining Tokio Marine will allow the firm to “extend our reach, broaden our capabilities, and deepen the support we provide to clients navigating complex commodity markets”. CIH, founded in 1999, provides clients with the critical information, tools and skills needed to make better risk management decisions. Its services cover various agriculture industries, including hog, beef, dairy, poultry/feed, ethanol and crop.
