Mr Masukume of @InsuranceAfc explained the recently launced 'Grain for Premium' at the ZFU 86th Annual Congress. farmers can now pay their insurance premium straight from harvest.

[ZFU_Official @zfu_official]

Zimbabwe's drought resilience runs on 6 strategic pillars from grain reserves and climate smart farming to early warning systems that reach right down to the Village. A coordinated plan like this is what turns a dry season from a crisis into something the country can manage

It's a buzz of activity here at the Congress, and Village Business Units are not left behind. Gambiza VBU has landed the best prize for Midlands, walking away with a two-wheeler tractor.
