To date there are four key blocks of problems preventing to raise investments to the private agricultural business, declared Aitor Ezcurra, Chief Investment Officer, Agribusiness Division at the IFC, on March 24 at the Ukrainian-American Agrarian Congress in Washington, D.C.
According to A.Ezcurra, the access to finances and financial risk management sector is the first problem.
The next one is the infrastructure imperfection - roads, ports, storehouses, which increases the supply chain losses and total agribusiness expenses.
Also, according to the Chief Investment Officer, the imperfection of land legislation in many countries slows down the investment raising.
Finally, the absence of certain common standards and principles of agricultural investment in many countries where the IFC operates, provides a significant barrier to inflow of funds from agribusiness investors, added A.Ezcurra.
