- Crop-specific parametric policies designed with weather and satellite indicators (for example rainfall and index-based drought or flood cover), tailored to crops and geographic regions.
- Digital distribution for frontier markets, including partner tools such as mobile apps, web apps, APIs, and mobile payment integrations to reach farmers and collect premiums.
