dc.descriptionAccess to finance remains one of the greatest barriers to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Caribbean, with at least eight of the 17 goals linked to finance. Yet high borrowing costs, limited financing options and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have left small-scale producers particularly constrained. Farmers, fishers and agri-entrepreneurs often lack affordable and innovative finance, as well as the knowledge to access them, preventing their participation in sustainable value chains. Traditional funding sources such as Official Development Assistance, Foreign Direct Investment, and remittances remain insufficient to meet the region’s financing needs. While recent value chain development programmes have helped upgrade industries and strengthen market linkages, persistent gaps in investment finance continue to hinder the growth of a modern and inclusive agribusiness sector. To address these challenges, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) partnered with 17 Asset Management (17 AM), an asset management and consulting firm specializing in building impact-driven financial products. Together, the project team designed innovative capital solutions to mobilize resources into high-potential value chains, enabling agribusinesses to scale while offering investors opportunities to align their capital with sustainable impact.
