20,000 Rwandan farmers in the provinces of West and South have obtained an insurance product at the low cost to deal with extreme weather events.
This offer has been made possible through a partnership between the insurer SORAS, the Rwandan Ministry of Agriculture, Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture and One Acre Fund.
According to the Ecofin Agency specializing in African finance, micro-insurance program “Kilimo Salama – Agriculture secure” allows farmers to compensate financial losses they may incur in the event of extreme weather events (drought, rain abundant…).
“Kilimo Salama” allow farmers to repay the money they have incurred for the purchase of seeds, fertilizers, and other inputs.
