OUR PURPOSE
to help reduce poverty by enhancing commodity farmers’ ability to generate income and reducing their exposure to risks to their financial security.
WHAT WE SEE
- To boost and diversify the commodities industry in emerging markets and transform it into a key driver of poverty reduction, long-term economic growth, and development.
- As part of our objective to reduce poverty, the CFC will support initiatives that invest in the poorest and most vulnerable individuals along global value chains. These initiatives could be in the areas of production, processing, financing, marketing, research and development (R&D), etc.
- To alleviate more people from poverty, quality project ideas from LDCs (Least Developed Countries), LLDCs (Landlocked Developing Countries), and SIDs (Small Island Developing States) would be given priority.
- The CFC anticipates that its participation will foster innovation that leads to positive change along the value chain, generating more income for all participants, ensuring equitable benefit distribution, and enhancing the social and environmental wellbeing of its most underprivileged members at the base of the pyramid.
- Applications offering ground-breaking fixes for the commodity industry are welcomed by the CFC. New agritech applications, agroforestry, agro-ecology-themed innovative productivity practices, regenerative technologies, increased access to renewable and affordable energy, expansion of environmental services, speeding up the digital and green recovery, enhancing nutrition security, climate-friendly practices contributing to biodiversity, preventing deforestation, digitalization, financial inclusion, blockchain, and other traceability solutions may be among them.
- Loans for capital purchases, working capital, or trade finance can be used to support investments in productivity and value chain upgrading involving smallholders and/or SMEs. Applications must be economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable as well as clearly demonstrate operational and financial viability. Applications are especially encouraged from women business owners.
