Courting Agribusinesses to Uptake Agri-Insurance

While the conversation about incentivizing smallholder farmers and agri-food entrepreneurs to adopt agricultural insurance has revolved around increasing their awareness of insurance and reducing the cost of agri-insurance, it seems like something even more critical is arguably missing from the discussion. It is not a needs-specific agri-insurance product or cost-effective premium, or even awareness of the concept of insurance itself. It is about trust.
