FUNDING INNOVATION – MAKING A DIFFERENCE

The Common Fund for Commodities (CFC) is seeking applications for financing projects along the commodity value chains following sustainability roadmap. CFC provides a range of financial and technical instruments to support projects proposed by SMEs/enterprises, cooperatives, and institutions along the entire commodity value chain in its member countries.

With poverty alleviation as our mission, CFC endeavors to “walk back” the value chain where poverty is more entrenched and as such support business activities covering all segments of the value chain (including production, processing, financing, marketing, research etc.). Our goal is to make innovative changes in the value chain that will provide more income for all participants in the process of value generation to improve the economic, social and environmental well-being of its poorest participants at the bottom of the pyramid.

Project proposals incorporating innovative solutions for the commodity sector (e.g. new agritech applications, agroforestry, agro-ecology themed innovative productivity practices,  regenerative technologies, increase availability of renewable and affordable energy, expanding environmental services, expediting digital and green recovery, adding to the nutrition security, climate friendly practices contributing to biodiversity, saving deforestation, digitalization, blockchain and other traceability solutions etc ) are especially encouraged to apply.
