As the Director-General of Aldagi BCI Nikoloz Gamkrelidze stated when discussing novelties planned in the agro-insurance sphere at a press conference held at Tbilisi Marriott Hotel, the company had already made contracts with the world-known reinsurance companies for reinsuring the risks that may arise in the Georgian agro-insurance sector.
"Despite the fact that this segment is rather risky, we are ready to invest. For this reason , we invited the representatives of the International Finance Corporation who were rendering technical aid to the agricultural insurance industry in Ukraine.
We actively collaborate with the the Ministry of Agriculture of Georgia.
As a result, we have signed up contracts with several farmers to insure their wheat yield against possible risks.
We are also working on insuring other crops, such as maize, vegetables, as well as cattle, sheep and other livestock, and soon these products will be offered to the market. I believe that the insurance sector development is greatly depended on investments made in agriculture.
The enhanced accessibility of banking products to farmer is very important for the sector's development, and I think that it is insurance that can facilitate and make it possible banks to easily and actively engage in crediting this sector.
In the final analysis, these efforts will greatly contribute increasing of the share of agriculture in the country's economic development" - stated he Director General of Aldagi BCI Nikoloz Gamkrelidze.
