IDB Invest, a member of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Group, signed an integration and underwriting commitment with an investment fund administrator (República Administradora de Fondos de Inversión, S.A.) for up to $30 million to establish the Interagrovial Financial Trust. The agreement will increase access to financing for agricultural and forestry producers in Uruguay.

The trust will raise funds through a private offering of debt securities acquired by IDB Invest. The funds will be used to finance the purchase of agricultural machinery with new technology to Interagrovial customers, with financing terms of up to seven years.

This operation potentially contributes to two of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: Decent work and economic growth (SDG8) and Responsible production and consumption (SDG 12).
