Investment Report

This robust report completed for the Regional Government of San Martin investigates strategies for increased market development of sustainably produced, high-quality agricultural products and opportunities to implement innovative blended finance mechanisms.
Why Impact Investing?
The Impact Investing to Reduce Deforestation project supports the San Martin government in slowing deforestation in the northern Peruvian Amazon rainforest while simultaneously increasing the production and export of sustainable, deforestation-free agriculture products, most notably coffee and cacao. To this end, we have taken significant steps to facilitate the creation of an investment strategy pitch book by local experts.
Additionally, we are highlighting the regional government’s conservation platform and highlighting their notable progress in sustainable development and forest governance to international buyers and investors who may purchase certified sustainable products from the San Martin region or invest in on-the-ground programs aligned with the region’s sustainability goals.
Key goals of this work:
- Showcase San Martin’s commitment to environmental protection by reducing deforestation
- Support small-scale farmers to join cooperatives that are certified by the regional government
- Advertise sustainable agricultural products to an international audience and potential investors
- Provide guidance and recommendations for a seamless transition into the creation of future investment strategy pitch books
