Farmer Testimonial

"I was introduced to crop insurance through a Champion Farmer. I was convinced that it is a good product since it was being sold by a fellow farmer from my neighborhood who had also insured his farm. Besides being asked to purchase insurance for my farm, I was trained on the need for insurance and other key topics like good agricultural practices, record keeping and risk management. I have always known insurance to be a very problematic investment that never pays but this one had no fees attached to the extension services I received and no complex paperwork for me to fill out. Everything was done via my mobile phone, and I submitted the payment via mobile money."

Farmer Testimonial

“I have been a farmer for a long time and never heard of crop insurance before, this is the first time I have encountered it. It was introduced to me at a women’s group meeting where we received training. I bought the insurance for my potatoe farm that day and registered my farm using my mobile phone. I received an SMS confirming they had received the money and at the end of the season, due to poor harvest, I received compensation from ACRE Africa.”

Farmer Testimonial

“As a Champion farmer, I have benefited a lot from ACRE Africa. Since 2019, I have received training every season on agricultural practices that have changed how I farm and the inputs I use. Currently, I practice regenerative agriculture and I see its benefits. I have been able to link many farmers in my network to crop insurance and better seeds through ACRE Africa. We access insurance through our mobile phone, and one selects a cover amount that they can afford, starting from as low as Kes. 250.”
