Peru's agro-export economy and the working-capital gap
Peru is one of the world's leading suppliers of high-value agricultural exports. Its agro-export economy spans commercial farms, processing and packing operations, and the logistics and supply chains that connect them to international markets.
Yet established agro-exporters frequently face working-capital gaps that traditional banking does not fully address — financing tied to specific production cycles, trade flows, and supply-chain relationships rather than collateral alone. These gaps can constrain production, delay fulfilment of confirmed export contracts, and limit liquidity across the supply chain.
Fund I is designed to address these gaps through structured private credit, complementing — not replacing — exporters' existing banking relationships.
Three complementary instruments, one value chain
Pre-shipment trade finance
Financing the production and preparation cycle before export — working capital tied to confirmed offtake or export contracts, supporting growers and exporters through the production cycle.
Post-shipment trade finance
Financing the receivable created once goods are shipped, bridging the gap between delivery and buyer payment so exporters can redeploy capital into the next cycle.
Supply chain finance
Purchasing supplier receivables to provide liquidity across an agro-exporter's supply chain, strengthening the broader productive ecosystem around each exporter.
Disciplined, transaction-level credit
Fund I emphasizes responsible credit underwriting and transaction-level risk controls. Capital is deployed against identified working-capital gaps, with structures designed to complement exporters' existing banking relationships.
- Responsible credit underwriting
- Transaction-level risk controls
- Disciplined capital deployment against identified gaps
- Complement to existing banking relationships
Connecting credit with real-economy outcomes
Regional economic activity
Financing productive working-capital gaps that support export operations and the regional economy.
Supply chain liquidity
Providing liquidity to agro-exporters and their suppliers across the value chain.
Responsible employment
Supporting operations that sustain and create quality employment.
Agricultural resilience
Strengthening the capacity of exporters and suppliers to operate productively over time.
These are intended impact objectives, to be measured as the fund deploys. No impact results have been realized to date.
