Buenavista farm household's story of access to formal credit, insurance protection, non-financial services and savings in support to their crop production activities and income source diversification efforts.

Myrna Maisog and her husband Lucio have never tried getting crop insurance for their rice farm. “Wala gyud mi kasayud unsa na mam, (We really do not know what it is.),” Myrna says. Myrna and her family live in Barangay Alubijid, Buenavista, a municipality in the province of Agusan del Norte.
