Partnership with the EcoEnterprises II Fund (EcoE II)
The CFC joins the EcoE II fund to invest in small companies with a proven business model at expansion stage which are active in the sustainable agriculture and forestry (products) sector in Latin America. The targeted investee companies supply into a growing market for organic food products and certified wood predominantly in the US.
Since its first closure in 2011, the fund has disbursed in debt and equity investments across different portfolio companies, which are engaged in eco/organic niche products such as tea, juices, baby food and dried fruit. Overall, the fund has supported local employment and connected raw material smallholder suppliers. In addition, EcoE II’s portfolio companies manage land in either a sustainable or conserved manner.
