This, the firm said, was to mitigate harvest losses suffered by farmers attributable to pest infestations, drought, prolonged dry spell, soil moisture stress, and other adverse climatic conditions attributable to the negative impact of climate change.

Leadway Assurance, in collaboration with Heifer International, a global non-profit development; OLAM, a global agri-business company; and PULA Advisors, an agricultural insurance and technology company had provided an innovative  Agric-insurance cover – the Area Yield Index Insurance AYII, Pay At Harvest (AYII-PAH) initiative.

This insurance solution which allows farmers to pay insurance premiums after their crops have been harvested and sold, was designed by Leadway Assurance and Pula Advisors to mitigate climate change-induced losses among smallholder farmers in Nigeria and further deepen insurance penetration among rural households in the country.

It was also designed to enable farmers pay for insurance premiums when it is financially convenient for them to do so. The cover compensate the farmers for yield losses suffered at the end of a cropping season.

Speaking during the claims payout ceremony in Makurdi, Benue state, recently, the head, Agric and Micro Insurance, Leadway Assurance Company Limited, Mr. Ayoola Fatona, said that compensating farmers for losses suffered during their production is pivotal to bolstering investors’ confidence in unlocking opportunities in the agricultural value chain, hence, engendering food security on the continent.

It is also by extension Leadway Assurance contribution in guaranteeing the food security of the nation.

Fatona said: “in the 2021 farming season, we insured 4,358 hectares of farmlands belonging to over 4,354 farmers in Benue and Nasarawa States. Today, with the payment of the different claims amounts N100million directly to the farmer’s bank accounts, we have ensured that 3,110 of these smallholder farmers would not lose their investments over losses suffered due to soil moisture stress occasioned by prolonged dry spells and mild droughts. The farmers now truly believes that insurance truly works.

“With the payment of a claim totaling N111,398,895, Leadway is enabling their recovery from investment losses and boosting their confidence ahead of a new farming season as the premiums received from the farmers at the end of the season will be ploughed back  to insure their farms for the 2022 wet season which has begun in earnest with the onset of the rainy season in many parts of the country.”

“Today, indeed marks a major milestone in the Nigerian Agriculture Insurance space, as leading corporates in the agriculture space partners to provide support, restore investor’s confidence and boost farmers’ hope”, he added.
