Agriculture

Agriculture still remains a key economic driver for the African continent and rest of the world due to food security concerns and industrial raw material demands. Despite agriculture being the main source of livelihood to more than 70 percent of African population, it faces a lot of production challenges as a result of mother nature events especially triggered by climate change. At Continental Re we understand the predicaments these farmers go through every time such weather happenings affect their livelihood. We have therefore strengthened our agriculture business line by having agriculture specialists in all our subsidiary offices where;

• We write a continental portfolio of agriculture;
