Bali, Indonesia: Forte, the leading insurance company in Cambodia, has been awarded as Cambodia’s Best Inclusive Business Company 2023 at the Sixth ASEAN Inclusive Business Summit, representing Cambodia on the ASEAN Stage along with the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology & Innovation (MISTI). This prestigious event was held from recently in Bali, Indonesia and organized by the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, Indonesia.

 

 

 

Forte’s recognition as an inclusive business is attributed to its impact in driving the growth of agriculture and health insurance in Cambodia. Inclusive businesses are defined as profitable enterprises that also support communities with limited financial means, creating positive social impact in an innovative way. Forte’s Weather Index Crop insurance (WICI) has played a crucial role in supporting Cambodia's agriculture industry by ensuring financial security for farmers. As the country’s main provider of agriculture insurance since 2014, Forte provides coverage for losses resulting from natural disasters such as droughts or heavy rainfall.

 

 

 

Through strong partnerships with the Cambodian government, microfinance institutions, and various organizations, Forte is paving the way towards inclusivity by supporting sustainable agricultural practices and financial protection for vulnerable local communities. Forte actively collaborates with the farming community to enhance their expertise in aquaculture insurance and supports the growth of vital crops such as rice, mangoes, maize cashews, and rubber. Forte also aims to empower these communities by providing them with access to financial protection in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
