EDFI Management Company (EDFI MC) is an EU-funded platform managing innovative development finance solutions.
EDFI MC operates on behalf of 15 European Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), providing financial services to sustainable private sector projects in emerging and developing economies.
EDFI MC’s product portfolio includes investment solutions, co-financing vehicles and risk-sharing instruments. These financing instruments contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement.
Launched in 2018, EDFI AgriFI – the Agriculture Financing Initiative – is an innovative and inclusive impact investment facility supporting access to finance for agri-SMEs and smallholder farmers. The facility is funded by the European Union and has a total size of close to EUR 140 million.
The initiative focuses on addressing the financing gap faced by “missing middle” agricultural companies that require growth capital but struggle to access financing from local commercial banks and international investors.
By promoting high environmental and social standards, the facility helps building sustainable supply chains, create employment opportunities, strengthen food security and improve environmental and social practices.
