Since 2016, BMZ has been financing measures in Zambia aimed at strengthening the insurance model linked to contract farming, ensuring its sustainability and identifying possibilities for its further spread in the country. NWK’s contract farming framework shows that index-based climate risk insurance products can foster sustainable business opportunities for agricultural companies. The project carried out by GIZ supports the further development, dissemination and expansion of the insurance model linked to contract farming throughout the industry. The aim of this model is to be replicated by other agricultural companies within Zambia and other countries, increasing smallholder farmers´ access to climate risk insurance.
