PNDA establishes agricultural insurance for 17,180 producers affected by climate disruptions in Kasaï-Central

With financial support from the World Bank, the National Agricultural Development Program (PNDA) has established agricultural insurance for 17,180 small-scale producers in Kasaï-Central. Persistent fog during the 2025 A and 2026 B farming seasons dried out their maize, peanut and bean crops. The scheme provides financial compensation and access to new selected seeds to help farmers resume production. In Dibaya, farmer Tshitshi Tshilomba says she lost her entire harvest from a one-hectare field.
