Haha, terminating the weather, I like it! Although I think that would be a bit overkill. Transfer is definitely the right answer here.

All these options sound a bit dry. Can we add some spice to this question? How about 'terminate' the bad weather with a flamethrower?

Yeah, it might be a bit extreme. Maybe they should stick to insurance.

I agree, transferring the risk is the way to go. Paying for insurance is better than eating the cost of the tomatoes yourself.

Transfer seems like the obvious choice here. Portobello is transferring the risk of the tomatoes being lost or delayed to an insurance company.
