Guardian and Agriventure Join Forces to Protect Farmers’ Futures

In a groundbreaking collaboration, Guardian Life Insurance Limited has partnered with Agriventure Limited, an Agrifintech startup, to launch Credit Shield Insurance for the agricultural sector. This partnership aims to protect farmers by providing insurance coverage for those financed by Agriventure. In times of unforeseen hardship, this initiative will ensure that farmers are not burdened by outstanding loans, providing them with much-needed financial security.

The partnership is a significant step towards creating a more resilient and inclusive agricultural ecosystem by merging technology, finance, and empathy for the country’s farmers—who play a crucial role in sustaining the nation’s food supply.

Sheikh Rakibul Karim, speaking on behalf of Guardian, emphasized, “At Guardian, we believe true progress begins when protection reaches everyone. Farmers are the backbone of our economy, yet they often face the toughest financial risks alone. This partnership is our way of ensuring that their hard work is never left unprotected and their future remains secure.”

Rabib Ridwan, Co-Founder of Agriventure, added, “Technology is our bridge to empowerment. By combining digital innovation with inclusive finance, we can not only make farming more productive but also more resilient. Our collaboration with Guardian is about using tech to solve one of the most urgent challenges farmers face: financial vulnerability.”

The signing ceremony was attended by key representatives from both organizations, including:

• Amirul Mostafa Arefeen, Co-Founder & Executive Chairman, Agriventure

• Avijit Ghosh, Manager of People Growth Strategy, Agriventure

• Nafiza Kaniz Eren, Senior Executive – Inclusive Finance & Capital Growth, Agriventure

  • Naushadul Karim Chowdhury, VP

This collaboration reflects Guardian Life’s commitment to bridging the gap between traditional farming and modern financial inclusion, ensuring that farmers who contribute to the nation’s prosperity can secure their own livelihoods with confidence.
