From Farmer to Multinational: De-risking Value Chains in Africa and Asia
Farmers and multinational companies face increasing climate risks. How do we build resilience and catalyse finance for agricultural value chains in Africa and Asia?
Starting with case studies of climate insurance products for the cocoa value chain in Cote d’Ivoire, coffee in Indonesia and shea nuts in Burkina Faso, speakers and participants will engage in roundtable discussions to identify opportunities for collaboration that derisk and unlock financing.
Framing
This section provides context for the event to ensure all participants, regardless of prior knowledge, are equipped to engage with the discussion.
Agricultural value chains are some of the most critical market systems for smallholder farmer livelihoods, food security, good health and nutrition, and economic growth. They are strained by severe climate events, lack of financing and protection, price fluctuations, and poor infrastructure.
Blended interventions that mitigate climate risks and invest in robust value chains, strengthen agricultural systems, creating sustainable growth and resilience for livelihoods, local economies and global supply chains.
