Champions Insurance From Zimbabwe Partners With EOSDA

EOS Data Analytics (EOSDA), a global AI-powered satellite imagery analytics provider, has partnered with Champions Insurance, a Zimbabwean company specializing in short-term insurance for agribusinesses. Champions Insurance aims to incorporate more innovative solutions into local farmers’ lives to push sustainability and development of agriculture in the region.

Under the partnership, Champions Insurance will use satellite imagery-based precision agriculture online platform EOSDA Crop Monitoring for remote field management, with the possibility of adding soil moisture parameters for its clients.

Agriculture is a vital sector in Southern Africa, contributing significantly to GDP and employment. In Zimbabwe, this rate is 27% of GDP . The industry includes both smallholder farming and large-scale commercial agriculture, with crops such as maize, tobacco, cotton, and horticultural products being significant contributors. However, the sector faces challenges such as climate variability, market access, and productivity issues.

Champions Insurance is actively supporting farmers and showing them there are ways to help with those challenges. The company wants to increase awareness about the crop monitoring system among critical stakeholders across target regions in Zimbabwe. The expected result is a significant number of early adopters who can provide feedback and testimonials. Once this is achieved, the long-term approach would be to promote widespread adoption of the crop monitoring system among farmers and agricultural stakeholders across the country.
