Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74507, member: 636"] The National Agricultural Development Fund teamed up with Leadway Assurance and Verdure Climate to roll out insurance products and climate financing for small farmers. NADF exec Mohammed Ibrahim said index-based coverage and pay-at-harvest options should help investors feel better about backing agricultural projects, and the partnership kicks off an AGRA-backed program aimed at boosting resilience through better financial tools. The group plans to bundle insurance with farm loans and scale credit-linked products for rice, soybeans, and maize growers in key states. Leadway's agriculture risk lead, Fatona Ayoola Paul, said NADF gives the project a solid policy foundation to build on. The AGRA 3.0 initiative wants to expand financial access, strengthen market connections, and improve conditions for thousands of farmers through 2027. [/QUOTE]
