Climate Smart Agriculture Market Study in Central American Countries

The IFC aims to enhance sustainable private sector investment in developing countries, focusing on poverty reduction and improved livelihoods. Its Financial Institutions Group (FIG) promotes Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) to help financial institutions support projects in energy efficiency and renewable resources. In Central America, CSA addresses climate vulnerability in agriculture and offers opportunities for carbon credits. IFC seeks to map agricultural value chains and assess CSA financing gaps in Costa Rica, Honduras, and Nicaragua to boost lending in this sector.
