Proactive and integrated Agri insurance solutions for a sustainable farming sector
According to the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, when the entire value chain of agriculture is taken into account, the sector contributes about 12% to South Africa’s gross domestic product and represents about 7% of formal employment. Agriculture also plays a key role to ensure food security in South Africa and the broader continent – for example, South Africa is the main producer of maize in the SADC region.
