Common Fund for Commodities (CFC) is an intergovernmental financial institution, established in 1989 under the framework of the United Nations. The CFC aims to support projects investing in commodity value chains to achieve sustainable development impact from “field to the fork”. It primarily provides support through loans for equipment, working capital, and trade finance.
The CFC seeks applications from projects that have attained economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Proposals should demonstrate operational and financial viability, along with a proven track record. The Open Call for proposals is held biannually in April and October.
