Latin AmericaSpotlight on our activities

In Latin America, small family‑run agricultural businesses form the fabric of the economy and play a vital role in ensuring food security. Today, more than ever, smallholder farmers need support to cope with the effects of climate change and biodiversity loss, all within a context of growing social inequalities.

Since our first investment in Chile, we have expanded our activities and now work with a broad network of partners in both agriculture and microfinance. We collaborate with long‑established co‑operatives as well as young, growing companies that support smallholder farmers and small‑ and medium‑sized enterprises.

In agriculture, we contribute to the financing of 8 value chains: cocoa, coffee, fruits & vegetables, honey, maize/beans, nuts, quinoa and textiles. These value chains bring together thousands of smallholder farmers and help strengthen rural economies across the region.

‍

In Latin America, we are active in 11 countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Peru.

Our representatives based in Bolivia, Costa Rica, Honduras and Peru ensure a continuous presence in the region. Their work on the ground allows us to maintain a close understanding of the needs of our partners and the communities they serve.
