International Finance Corporation (IFC), a sister organization of the World Bank and member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets.

They work with more than 2,000 businesses worldwide, using their capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities in the toughest areas of the world. In FY17, they delivered a record $19.3 billion in long-term financing for developing countries, leveraging the power of the private sector to help end poverty and boost shared prosperity.

IFC has made agribusiness a priority because of its potential for broad development impact and especially strong role in poverty reduction. They combine investments and advisory services to help the sector address higher demand and escalating food prices in an environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive way.

IFC Advisory Services supports companies that promote good agricultural practices that benefit small-scale farmers, and value chain solutions involving small and medium size enterprises.

IFC is launching an advisory platform to help agribusiness companies build capacity in food safety globally. The goal of the initiative is to reduce food safety risk for IFC clients in agribusiness while contributing to industry sector capacity in select markets.
