We successfully participated in the Mkushi District Agricultural and Commercial Show held from 6th to 7th June 2025. This event provided a valuable platform for community engagement, allowing us to address a wide range of inquiries and share insights on our insurance products and services.
A highlight of our participation was the meaningful interaction with numerous small-scale farmers, many of whom visited our stand to learn more about agricultural insurance. We provided particular support to those affected by recent drought conditions, offering guidance on coverage options and claims processes.
We were also pleased to engage with sponsors of small-scale farmers, such as Appolo Zambia, which supports farmers in the Luano District, south of Mkushi. These discussions underscored the importance of collaborative efforts in promoting sustainable agriculture and risk management.
Our presence at the show was recognised with a Third Place Award in the Social Security and Insurance category, an achievement that reflects our ongoing commitment to serving Zambia’s farming communities.
The exhibition team was led by Mr. Patrick Mkuyamba, our Deputy Branch Operations Manager from the Kabwe Office. His in-depth knowledge of agricultural insurance, particularly in Weather Index Insurance and claims procedures, was instrumental in enriching our engagements.
The event was officiated by the Mkushi District Commissioner, who served as Guest of Honour, alongside the Council Secretary.
We thank the organisers and the local community for the opportunity to participate and look forward to continuing our support for agricultural development in the region.
The show was held under the theme "Adapting to Climate Change".
