We are leveraging our global industry knowledge to tackle the biggest development challenges.

Agribusiness plays an important role in poverty reduction. The agricultural sector often accounts for at least half of GDP and employment in many developing countries.

IFC helps agribusinesses address rising demand in an environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive way. We help clients finance agricultural inputs and provide working capital to farmers. We finance post-harvest infrastructure such as warehouses and cold storages. We help improve productivity and sustainability by transferring new technologies.

In FY17, our long-term commitments in agribusiness and forestry totaled more than $1.7 billion, including funds mobilized from other investors.
