?? Private equity in emerging markets has been a quiet powerhouse, delivering substantial returns for those who know where to look. Our latest research reveals that IFC - International Finance Corporation's private equity investments have outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by an average of 16% over the period 1990-2023. This success is driven by a small percentage of high-growth deals, or "home runs," which significantly boost overall portfolio performance. By focusing on firm-specific factors and diversifying investments, savvy investors can achieve competitive returns while supporting economic growth in emerging markets. Explore our findings to understand the dynamics of private equity returns and the importance of diversification in these vibrant economies ?? https://wrld.bg/ZUAn50V4qYV #IFCResearch #PrivateEquity #EmergingMarkets #IFCEconomics

Global Director, Manufacturing? Agribusiness, and Forestry (MA&F) at IFC - International Finance Corporation (World Bank Group)
Congrats to IFC - International Finance Corporation and University of Chicago’s Innovation Commission and Market Shaping Accelerator for co-hosting an all-day event on advancing agribusiness solutions for job creation, food security, and resilient agriculture and food systems. The event kicked off with a fireside chat featuring University of Chicago’s and Nobel Laureate Michael Kremer, highlighting how innovation in managing risks is essential for agricultural success. The discussion set the stage for deeper conversations on the role of innovation in tackling agricultural challenges and the tools available to drive meaningful change. At the heart of these discussions was a shared commitment: collaboration is key to creating jobs, reducing food insecurity, and strengthening?agricultural resilience. At The World Bank Group, we are working alongside our partners to bridge financing gaps, invest in infrastructure, and improve the business-enabling environment. Key Takeaways from the Panels: ? Unlocking Productivity and Co-Benefits of Microbial Fertilizers – Discussed the role of biologicals in improving yields while optimizing synthetic fertilizer use to reduce emissions. ? Innovative Approaches to Reduce Methane Emissions from the Livestock Sector – Highlighted the importance of aligning private sector incentives with emissions reductions through robust data-driven strategies. ? Building Resilience in Agriculture: Resilient Crop Varieties – Explored the role of resilient seeds in preventing food system disruptions and increasing farmers' yields. ? Facilitating Financing for Early-Stage Breakthrough Innovations – Emphasized the need for tailored financing instruments based on the type of actor (such as multinational, regional, local, public, or private) and the stage of the innovation cycle. The future of agribusiness depends on partnerships, data-driven decisions, and strategic financing. Thanks to all speakers, attendees, and our partners University of Chicago’s Innovation Commission and Market Shaping Accelerator.

Cargill Coop Academy 2.0: A Success Story in Agricultural Development ? IFC - International Finance Corporation's Agribusiness Leadership Program's (ALP) collaboration with Cargill, a project known as Coop Academy 2.0, has been a transformative success. Through its targeted approach, ALP assessed, trained and coached participants to enhance their professionalism and enable greater access to digital finance. ? The Coop Academy 2.0 project has trained and coached 139 coops and achieved a massive improvement in cooperative professionalism, with coops’ scores increasing from an average of 3.1 to 4.15 on a five point scale. The project also advanced digital financial inclusion, with 151 cooperatives and over 30,000 farmers enrolled in digital payment systems, as well partnerships established with multiple banks to ensure improved access to credit and reduced financial vulnerability. ? According to Gervais Aka, a Sustainable Sourcing Supervisor at Cargill, cooperatives saw significant improvements in management after participating in the ALP. Coops became better at understanding administrative functions, managing expenses, and gaining financial and operational knowledge, improving logistics and efficiency across the board. ? In addition, the training has re-emphasized the shared priorities between Cargill and the cocoa farmer cooperatives. Coops are more aligned on their sustainability efforts and reinforce the importance of traceability and continuing to exclude farms in protected areas – even if that means missing out on cocoa volumes. ? Despite challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic and political instability, the Coop Academy 2.0 adapted quickly by incorporating remote training and restructuring project timelines. The results speak for themselves—enhanced agricultural practices, financial inclusion, and stronger cooperatives. ? The Cargill Coop Academy 2.0 demonstrates how, even in the face of adversity, innovation and collaboration can transform agriculture and empower smallholder farmers.

Liderando el camino hacia una ganadería sostenible ?? ? En la región de la Orinoquía, Colombia, la Hacienda San José está revolucionando los esfuerzos para la protección de la biodiversidad, demostrando que la ganadería y la sostenibilidad pueden coexistir en armonía. ? Durante décadas, la expansión agrícola, incluida la limpieza de áreas para el pastoreo de ganado, ha sido una de las principales causas de deforestación, degradación de ecosistemas y emisiones de carbono en Colombia. Sin embargo, con el apoyo de IFC, la Hacienda San José está cambiando esta historia. ? Aplicando técnicas de agricultura regenerativa y selección genética avanzada, la Hacienda San José está optimizando la producción sin comprometer la integridad del paisaje. Asimismo, a través de sistemas silvopastoriles y pastoreo rotacional, ha logrado reducir significativamente su huella de carbono, restaurar miles de hectáreas de pastizales y contribuir a una mayor conservación del agua. ? Para preservar los ricos recursos naturales de la Orinoquía, IFC, en colaboración con la Iniciativa para Paisajes Forestales Sostenibles del Fondo de Biocarbono (ISFL), viene forjando nuevas alianzas con ganaderos de la región. Además, esta iniciativa viene atrayendo el interés de nuevos actores que buscan extender estas prácticas a nivel nacional.??? ?
