CMI Alimentos Expansion

in implementation

The financing facility proposed for CMI Alimentos, one of the major food groups in Central America, consists in a long-term syndicated senior loan to the Borrowers of up to US$250 million, to be funded as follows: (i) US$50 million by IDB Invest and (ii) the rest by other commercial banks and/or IFDs mobilized by IDB Invest (the “Financing”). The transaction is expected to contribute to food safety in Central America by (i) supporting a larger and more efficient production of food in the region; (ii) strengthening the market relations with the regional supply chain; and (iii) supporting income generation for workers and microbusinesses in the Company’s distribution chain, especially women and mainly in the areas with higher levels of poverty and undernutrition.
