13Agribusiness Investment Approach
- Corporate Project Finance
- Provide long term financing equity and loans
that is not otherwise available - Create long term partnerships with emerging
industry leaders - Promote IFCs brand through best practice for
corporate governance, sustainability, Environment
Social standards, etc. - Implement further reach programs to support
individual farmers, distribution companies, etc. - Provide Technical Assistance as added value in
IFCs financing package
- Wholesaling through Traders
- and Financial Institutions (FIs)
- Majority of farms/SMEs are too small for IFC
reach but are essential to the sector - Field advantage of local intermediaries
- (regulations, business customs, client/
supplier reputations) - Channel financial and technical assistance to end
users via intermediary - Develop and promote sustainability best practices
through the intermediary - Instruments Long Term finance, partial credit
guarantees, risk sharing, etc.
- Technical Assistance (TA) and Advisory Services
- Project specific for farmers, SME development,
supply chain linkages, infrastructure - Market development of local supply to meet
quality and quantity requirements - Corporate governance and business transparency

34Annex 2 IFCs Approach to Biofuels
35Economics of Biofuels
- Economic viability depends on
- Price/cost of feedstock
- Feedstock Production efficiency/technology
- Feedstock conversion efficiency
- Transportation costs
- Price of competing fuel at the delivery point
- Environmental Benefits and possibility of
monetization (carbon credits)
35
36IFCs Approach to Biofuels
- Investment decision depends on
- What is the feedstock (agricultural-related
risks) - Where is it produced and what/where is the market
- Proven Process/varieties/yields
- Sponsors experience and track record in
- agricultural issues
- producing in the Projects location
- What is the Projects economic impact
- Single location projects are riskier
- What are the environmental benefits
- Financial feasibility test in the absence of
subsidies/preferential treatment/mandate - Sponsors financial strength and support is key
in greenfield projects
36
37IFCs Biofuels Investment Approach
- Consistency with IFCs Strategy for renewable
energy and climate change - Project must be consistent with IFC Environmental
and Social Performance Standards - Preference for sugar cane based ethanol where
costs are globally competitive - Preference for Biodiesel Projects produced from
low value added feedstocks (waste oil, animal
fats) - Continue to investigate jatropha-based biodiesel
(and others that do not compete directly with
food production)
