IBISA NETWORK

IBISA Network is a pioneering startup focused on revolutionizing the agricultural insurance sector. The company aims to make insurance accessible and straightforward for agricultural entrepreneurs, including smallholder farmers, pastoralists, and breeders. Operating in the global agricultural market, IBISA leverages advanced technology and data to offer innovative insurance solutions that address the unique challenges faced by these clients.

IBISA's core offering is an end-to-end platform designed to solve the issue of "uninsurability" for small-scale agricultural producers. Traditional insurance models often fail to cater to these clients due to high costs and complex claim processes. IBISA addresses these issues by using a hybrid parametric loss assessment model. This model combines parametric data (pre-defined triggers like weather conditions) with crowd-watching data (community-sourced information) to automate and streamline the loss assessment process. This approach reduces basis risk, which is the risk that the insurance payout does not match the actual loss.

The business model of IBISA is built around providing mutual protection to its clients. By automating loss assessments and enabling instant payouts without the need for filing claims, IBISA ensures that farmers can quickly recover from losses and continue their operations. This not only mitigates financial risks but also contributes to poverty reduction and economic empowerment in rural areas.

IBISA makes money through partnerships with insurance companies and other stakeholders in the agricultural sector. These partners use IBISA's platform to offer tailored insurance products to their clients. Additionally, IBISA may charge fees for access to its technology and data services.

In summary, IBISA Network is transforming agricultural insurance by making it more accessible, efficient, and reliable for small-scale farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs worldwide.
