Agric Insurance: Experts call for greater collaboration amongst industry practitioners

Participants at the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) 2020 Education Seminar have called for greater collaboration between industry practitioners and the regulators.

The regulators and the agencies include National Insurance Commision (NAICOM); CIIN; Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA); Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB) and the Institute of Loss Adjusters of Nigeria (ILAN) with relevant agencies such as Nigeria Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL Plc.) and the Nigerian Agricultural Insurance Corporation (NAIC) in order to reduce the gap in information sharing on Agricultural insurance.

They also advocated for the resuscitation of the Agricultural Insurance Working Group (AIWG) under the auspices of the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) to involve all industry stakeholders and smallholder farmers along with other agricultural industry players.

The resolutions were contained in the communique issued at the end of deliberations at the just concluded CIIN 2020 Education Seminar held virtually in compliance with government’s directives on COVID-19 pandemic.

The participants also implored Insurance industry operators to improve on consumer education to all smallholder farmers in order to release the untapped potentials in that sector, whilst canvassing the need for education on the supply side of the chain (i.e with insurance practitioners) should continually be improved upon to provide the required support in the sector.

Data integration and synchronization, they said should be improved upon in order to foster a better understanding of the needs, aspirations and yearnings of the smallholder farmers in order to produce effective service by the insurers.

They noted that customer profiling in indigenous language should be emphasized to mitigate unwanted risk in agriculture insurance and that technological collaboration with Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) should be embarked upon by the industry on forecasting for the effects of weather in the Agricultural sector.

The President of the CIIN, Sir, Muftau Oyegunle, in his address at the opening of the seminar with theme: “Managing Small Holder Farmers; The Insurance Perspective” said smallholder farmers are the drivers of many economies in Africa even though their potential is often not brought forward, stressing that often, the term ‘smallholder’ is interchangeably used with ‘small-scale’ and sometimes ‘peasant farmer’ and that in general terms smallholder only refers to their limited resource endowment relative to other farmers in the sector.

“One of the main characteristics of production systems of smallholder farmers are of simple outdated technologies, low returns and high seasonal labour fluctuations which is a reflection of the disjointed and uncoordinated agricultural value chain.

The term ‘’value chain’’ describes the full range of value adding activities required to bring a product or service through the different phases of production, including procurement of raw materials and other inputs,” he said.

He posited that this form of Agricultural production faces a lot of risks, adding that some of these risks include risks caused by potential volatility in prices, damage to crops or livestock, production risk resulting from uncertainty about the levels of production that primary producers can achieve from their current activities amongst others.

The Managing Director/CEO, Nigeria Agricultural Insurance Corporation (NAIC) Mrs. Folashade Joseph, delivering the theme paper entitled: ‘Management of Smallholder Farmers: The Insurance Perspective’ noted that smallholder farmers are responsible for about 98 per cent of locally produced food consumed in Nigeria, adding that 80 per cent of the total farmers, including medium and large ones are smallholder farmers.
