The Common Fund for Commodities (CFC) is calling for proposals from organizations in developing countries to implement modern, financially viable projects that strengthen smallholder livelihoods, restore ecosystems, and build sustainable commodity value chains.
The funding supports initiatives where commercial success aligns with social inclusion and environmental sustainability, helping farmers and local enterprises access markets, increase incomes, and protect biodiversity.
Eligible applicants must operate in one of CFC’s 101 member countries, demonstrate at least three years of relevant experience, and propose projects that are scalable and impactful. Priority is given to initiatives focused on regenerative agriculture, biodiversity conservation, local value addition, agri-technology, financial access for smallholders, and women-led enterprises.
