MufasaPreparing your cover
Fish farming carries real risk, disease, water quality, predators. This covers it.
Mufasa Insurance Agencies arranges aquaculture insurance across Homa Bay County - Homa Bay, Mbita, Rusinga & Mfangano Islands, Oyugis and every town in between. Homa Bay is the centre of Kenya's lake fishery, with Mbita, Sindo and the island communities of Mfangano and Rusinga depending almost entirely on the water. With commercial farming, lake fishing and trading driving the local economy, the cover that makes sense here is specific to Homa Bay. We are IRA-licensed, we place with Kenya's major underwriters, and quotes come back the same working day over WhatsApp.
Why Homa Bay Is Different
Fishing accidents and sudden lake storms drive the highest personal accident exposure of any economic activity in the county. Aquaculture is priced against those specific perils, so tell us your exact location - two farms on the same lake in this county can rate very differently.
Cover responds to mass mortality from disease, pollution and oxygen depletion, and to physical loss of cages, nets and stock from storm or theft. Underwriters want stocking records and water quality monitoring - operations around Homa Bay Town and Mbita that keep them get materially better terms.
Group schemes arranged through a cooperative, factory or SACCO price far below individual policies. If there is an organised society covering your area, that is almost always the route we will recommend first.
