Fats and Oils

A competitive oilseed industry has and will continue to play an important role in the rural development in less developed countries by:

• promoting the growth of oilseed production and/or processing and associated industries
• supporting the development and intensification of livestock production systems,
• keeping consumer prices (oils and livestock products) low while providing safe consumer products.
  

As of June 30, 2008, IFC's portfolio in this sector was $287 million or 13% of IFC's total agribusiness portfolio.
