BENKI YA NBC YAMWAGIWA SIFA KWA KUTOA FIDIA YA BIMA YA MAZAO KWA WAKULIMA WA TUMBAKU TABORA

• Benki ya Kwanza nchini kutoa fidia ya Bima ya mazao kufuatia mvua kubwa zilizoharibu zao tumbaku Tabora
• Zaidi ya Milioni 9 zatolewa kwa vikundi vya AMCOS
• Mkuu wa Mkoa ashauri Bima hiyo kuhusisha mazao mengi zaidi ya biashara na chakula

 

Mkuu wa Mkoa wa Tabora, Dk. Batilda Buriani (katikati) akitoa hundi kwa vyama vya Ushirika (AMCOS) mkoani Tabora ikiwa ni sehemu ya fidia ya hasara ya mazao iliyotokana na kuwepo kwa mvua kubwa katika msimu wa 2021/2022. Fedha hizo zimetolewa kupitia huduma ya Bima ya mazao ya Benki ya NBC ambayo inatoa kinga dhidi ya athari za mabadiliko ya tabia nchi kama ukame, vimbunga, wadudu na mafuriko.

Tabora,  21 Julai 2022: Kwa mara ya kwanza nchini, wakulima wa zao la tumbaku mkoani Tabora wamelipwa fidia na Benki ya NBC kufuatia hasara waliyoipata kutokana na uharibifu wa mazao yao baada ya athari za mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa katika msimu uliopita. Fidia hivyo imelipwa kupitia mpango wa Bima za Mazao wa Benki ya NBC. Katika mpango huo, Vyama vinne vya Ushirika (AMCOS) vya Insolelansabo, Muloku, Ngulu Moja na Isenegezya vimepewa zaidi ya shilingi milioni tisa, kufidia hasara iliyosababishwa na kuwepo kwa kiwango cha juu cha mvua na hivyo kuharibu mazao na kusababisha hasara kwa wakulima hao. 

 

Mkuu wa Mkoa wa Tabora, Dk. Batilda Buriani akiwa katika picha ya pamoja na viongozi wa serikali mara baada ya kutoa hundi kwa wanachama wa vyama vya Ushirika (AMCOS) mkoani Tabora ikiwa ni sehemu ya fidia ya hasara ya mazao iliyotokana na kuwepo kwa mvua kubwa katika msimu wa 2021/2022. Fedha hizo zimetolewa kupitia huduma ya Bima ya mazao ya Benki ya NBC ambayo inatoa kinga dhidi ya athari za mabadiliko ya tabia nchi kama ukame, vimbunga, wadudu na mafuriko.

Akizungumzwa wakati wa kukabidhi hundi ya fidia kwa vyama hivyo, Mkurugenzi wa Wateja wadogo wa Benki ya NBC, Elibariki Masuke alisema fidia hiyo imetolewa kupitia mpango wa bima kwa wakulima ambayo inawalinda dhidi ya hasara zinazosababishwa na athari za hali ya hewa kama vile ukame, vimbunga, wadudu,mvua ya mawe na mengineyo. “Kwa msimu wa mwaka huu kupitia vyama ambavyo vilikopeshwa na Benki ya NBC katika mikoa ya Tabora, Kigoma na Shinyanga, wakulima waliweza kupata bima ya Kilimo ambayo iliwawezesha kujikinga dhidi ya majanga mbalimbali,” alisema. Alisema hatua hiyo imetokana na upembuzi wa hali ya hewa uliofanyika na kuonekana kuwa katika vijiji vya Lolangulu, Ishishimulwa, Imalakaseko na Isenegzya kulikuwa na kiwango cha juu cha mvua. Bima hiyo inatolewa na Benki ya NBC kwa kushirikiana na Kampuni ya Bima ya Jubilee. Benki ya NBC inaamini kuwa kupitia bima hiyo, vyama vitapunguza kwa kiwango kikubwa hasara zinazoweza kutokea kutokana mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa na majanga mengine yasiyotabirika na yaliyo nje ya uwezo wa mkulima. Serikali kupitia Wizara ya Kilimo imeunda mpango maalum wa kuboresha kilimo ujulikanao kama “ajenda 10/30” ambao unalenga kuongeza ukuaji wa sekta ya kilimo kutoka asilia 5 mpaka 10 ifikapo mwaka 2030, kujitosheleza kwa chakula na kuwawezesha wakulima kubadili uzalishaji wa mazao ya chakula kuwa ya biashara.
