Farmers also say that growing seasons are now punctuated by droughts and torrential downpours.  </p> </div> <div> <p>“We could have two years of non-stop rain, and then six months with no rain at all,” says Florence Muranga, Director of the Banana Industrial Research and Development Centre, a non-governmental organization. “[Farmers] can lose their food, their livelihood, their house in one day,” she adds. </p> <p></p><figure role="group"> <img alt="A woman looks into a camera while she harvests banana crops.

When there is a storm, farmers share photos of the damage to the platform and agroeconomists hired by the insurance company determine the value of the damage. Nearly 50 per cent of the farmers trialling the technology are women.   </p> </div> <div> <p>The fact that most of the farmers had never used smartphones before proved not to be a barrier. ‘Champion farmers’, such as Justine, were trained to show other smallholders how to use the devices. </p> <p></p><figure role="group"> <img alt="A head and shoulders picture of a man standing on a banana farm.

The insurance is delivered through Agro Consortium Limited, a public-private coalition of 13 insurance companies.  </p> </div> <div> <p>As the insurance is linked to a digital platform, there are minimal in-person claims inspections, which speeds up payouts and lowers premiums.   </p> </div> <div> <p>Farmers are also trained in water management and agroforestry. This has boosted productivity, in some cases, six-fold, and decreased climate-related losses. These practices lower the payout risk for insurance companies. The insurance also reassures financial institutions, making it easier for farmers to get loans. </p> </div> <div> <p>The success of this proof-of-concept project means the scheme will now be rolled out to all 5,000 farmers covered by the Banana Industrial Research and Development Centre.
