Ecom Coffee Central America

completed

The coffee sector in Central America (and Nicaragua in particular) is dominated by small holders, and has been suffering from decreasing productivity over the past decade. The proceeds of the loans provided by IFC will be used to fund ECOM Agroindustrial Corp. Ltd’s (“ECOM” or the “Company”) coffee operations in Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala and Costa Rica, and are aimed at on-lending to coffee growers for seasonal expenses, harvest, productivity and certification expenditures, and plantation renovation to help the Borrower’s coffee suppliers in those countries access short term and medium term financing, improve their productivity and adopt best management practices.
