New risk-sharing partnership with Oikocredit aims to de-risk lending and expand access to affordable credit for smallholder-focused producer organisations.

The IDH Farmfit Fund is pleased to announce a USD 10 million risk-sharing participation agreement with Oikocredit, a global social impact investor and cooperative with a 25-year history of agricultural finance across Latin America and the Caribbean. This transaction is a strategic move to unlock critical trade finance for small and medium-sized producer organisations (POs).

The investment comes at a time of tightening financial conditions, climate impacts, rising Arabica coffee prices, and limited credit access, all of which threaten the stability of the coffee and cocoa sectors. IDH Farmfit Fund’s commitment will enable Oikocredit to expand its regional trade finance portfolio and reach smaller organisations that are in need of financial support.
