Support for the CCAT Fund – Catalytic Capital for the Agricultural Transition in Brazil

About this project

Structured as a catalytic debt fund, CCAT will accelerate a pro-farmer agriculture transition in Brazil, unlocking large-scale commercial investment in deforestation- and conversion-free (DCF) soy and cattle production alongside agroforestry by de-risking and improving financial terms for farmers, banks and supply chain companies operating in Brazil’s Amazon and Cerrado regions. Within three years of its first close, the Catalytic Capital for the Agriculture Transition Fund will have invested USD $200 million (target size) and leveraged USD $800 million in commercial capital while impacting over 520,000 hectares (ha) of degraded land, catalyzing at least USD $1.5 billion in additional catalytic capital, and establishing a track record for agricultural investments in conversion-free and nature positive production models. The CCAT Fund seeks to scale investments in the deforestation- and conversion-free (DCF) production of soy and beef in Brazil, while restoring degraded land without expanding deforestation – in line with Brazil’s Green Way strategy. Structured as a catalytic debt fund, CCAT will accelerate a pro-farmer agriculture transition in Brazil, unlocking large-scale commercial investment in deforestation- and conversion-free (DCF) soy and beef production alongside agroforestry by de-risking and improving financial terms for medium and small farmers, banks and supply chain companies operating in Brazil’s Amazon and Cerrado regions.
