Quantum Computing for Mozambican Agricultural Insurance Pooling
35% Lower Premiums
Mozambican crop insurance premiums average $50/farmer — too expensive for most. Quantum optimization creates insurance pools that diversify risk across 3.2M farmers, reducing premiums by 35% to $32.50/farmer.
The Model
QAOA groups farmers into optimal insurance pools based on: crop type, province, rainfall pattern, soil type, and historical yield. Pooling farmers with uncorrelated risks (e.g., maize farmers in Gaza with cassava farmers in Nampula) reduces aggregate risk by 35%.
