2021 is a very special year for BlueOrchard as we celebrate our 20th anniversary. Throughout 2021 we will be sharing with you some of the encouraging entrepreneurial stories, personal dreams, and insights into the lives of families around the globe who are struggling and fighting against adversity every single day. Our ninth story is about Simon Deogratus from Tanzania.

 

Simon, have you ever considered taking out insurance to protect you against the effects of the temperatures rising? 

To be honest, I had never really considered that this could be a possibility until recently – my adviser has suggested that I might want to insure my crops in case anything happens to them due to the rising temperatures. Obviously, I would still prefer to be able to sell them, but at least this way I am protected if something bad does happen and the costs for insurance are really low.
