Animal Production

In many developing countries, under-investment in livestock processing has resulted in poorly maintained infrastructure and declining quality of services. Helping clients maintain competitiveness, upgrade sanitary and food safety standards, and expand market access are key objectives for IFC.

As of June 30, 2008, IFC's portfolio in the sector was $445 million or 20% of the total IFC agribusiness portfolio.
