Together, community members grow and harvest bananas that will later be turned into puree and exported to food companies around the world.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Until a few years ago, Layan and his community harvested bananas for their own consumption and to feed livestock. That changed when they began working with Costa Rica-based Paradise Ingredients, which sources 100 percent of its bananas from local communities. The company processes the bananas into 47,000 tons of baby food puree, juice, dairy products, and cocktail mixers that it ships annually to Australia, China, Europe, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, South America, and the United States.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The community farm is a crucial part of food processing company Paradise Ingredients\u2019 supply chain. For Layan and his fellow community members, it\u2019s something more, too \u2013 a way for families to work together while preserving the environment.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe really love our land and what we do, and it fills us with pleasure to continue the work of our ancestors, protecting the environment, because this is our legacy for the next generations,\u201d said Layan.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This farm\u2019s evolution from local producer to part of a global supply chain did not happen by accident. Paradise Ingredients was acquired in 2016 by the Central American Small and Medium Enterprise Investment Fund (CASEIF), an IFC client, whose focus is to support the growth and expansion of small businesses in the subregion. With the funding and operational support from CASEIF, Paradise Ingredients has grown from a small business to the largest banana processing company in the region.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While some global private equity firms have a reputation for being driven primarily by returns, a different model exists in this small corner of Central America. The model, most often found in private equity investments in emerging markets, combines equity financing, active governance, and operational and managerial support.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe key to success for doing private equity in emerging markets is for the fund manager to be an active investor,\u201d said Andrea Onate, Senior Private Equity Investment Officer at IFC. \u201cThe fund needs to provide more than just capital. It needs to create, promote and monitor value creation plans that will help businesses grow successfully and sustainably, and to ultimately become market leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>An appetite for growth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With its new partnership with CASEIF, Paradise Ingredients made changes to senior management, significant investments to update its equipment, and standardized and optimized its production processes. The company also recognized the importance of working closely with small-scale banana farmers to supply the raw product they need to create puree. These improvements resulted in a 12.5 percent increase in production. Paradise Ingredients has also launched new lines of products to serve brands such as Coca Cola, PepsiCo, Gerber, and Nestl\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cParadise has changed the way we approach production, to make it better,\u201d said Jorge Oruno, who leads the Association of Small Producers of Organic Bananas (UCANEHU), which represents over 200 local farmers and more than 1,500 families.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Private equity is an important force in financial markets, accounting for about $800 billion in investment worldwide each year. But only 12.7 percent of it reaches emerging markets.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">IFC estimates that 75 percent of small businesses in Latin America and the Caribbean lack access to finance. That means an important source of capital isn\u2019t being invested where it is needed most. This is even more relevant in the context of COVID-19, because small companies need liquidity to continue operating and protect jobs, while also looking for new and faster ways to adapt.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>\u201cReturning dynamism to companies\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">CASEIF becomes involved in the governance of its investee companies both at the Board level and as part of executive and operations committees, said Hugo Chaves, CASEIF Investment Director and current CEO of Paradise Ingredients. Another key focus of the fund is to help businesses become certified in global quality management standards such as the ones developed by the International Organization for Standardization.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cOf course, we look at returns, but that is one of several aspects we contemplate when we evaluate our portfolio. It is a priority that we leave behind more solid, professional companies,\u201d said Chaves. \u201cThe pandemic has given us a broader vision on the type of investments we should focus on in future placements. We aim to become a post-COVID reactivation fund, leveraging our track record on building solid companies and strengthening their resilience, so they can overcome similar situations. Our focus is to return dynamism to companies and help them restart the wheel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The company diversified its business following an additional $20 million investment in 2019, which helped it launch the natural fruit cocktail mixers. That created more than 100 direct and indirect jobs \u2013 a boon for the local economy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Seeding development outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">CASEIF was attracted to Paradise Ingredients\u2019 technical, human, and operational capacity potential to further develop the business. For the company, the private equity infusion from CASEIF has meant business opportunities for its banana and other fruit suppliers, stable jobs for the community, and career development opportunities for its employees. Employees go through continuous and rigorous training to ensure high-quality products are produced. Supporting gender equality has also been central to Paradise Ingredients since it was acquired by CASEIF. Today, 50 percent of the company\u2019s workforce is female, and women serve in more than half of the managerial positions. There are now more robust operational policies and healthcare benefits for staff in place as well.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Paradise Ingredients has also been supporting the development of Costa Rican organic growers with crop management training that respects the community\u2019s ancestral growing practices, which cultivates bananas without the use of chemicals. This has resulted in a more sustainable and climate-smart approach that has helped farmers increase production.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One farmer, Albertina Hernandez, from Talamanca, has increased her output from 200 kilos of bananas to 1,000 kilos a year. The improvements for this veteran farmer \u2013 she has been growing bananas for 20 years \u2013 transformed her business, she said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cBefore, we did not even know how to defoliate,\u201d Hernandez said. \u201cNow we really know how to manage the farm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Source: International Finance Corporation by Monica de Leon<\/p>\n<p>Stay Safe!!<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f16536-o1\" lang=\"\" dir=\"ltr\" data-wpcf7-id=\"16536\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30474#wpcf7-f16536-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" aria-label=\"Contact form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<fieldset class=\"hidden-fields-container\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"16536\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"6.1.6\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f16536-o1\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p><B><I>Sign Up for our Newsletter:<\/i><\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>Your Name (required)\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-name\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"your-name\" \/><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>Your Email (required)\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-email\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-email wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-email\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"email\" name=\"your-email\" \/><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><input class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit has-spinner\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\" \/>\n<\/p><div class=\"wpcf7-response-output\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Talamanca, a region in Costa Rica close to the border with Panama, Demetrio Layan, part of the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[242,12,241,39,248,34,33,62,280,42,219,11,249,243,7,246,244,281],"class_list":["post-30474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-articles-panama-perpsective","tag-boca-chica-real-estate","tag-boquete","tag-boquete-real-estate","tag-buenaventura","tag-casco","tag-casco-antiguo","tag-casco-viejo","tag-coffee-in-panama","tag-disinfetion-services-safety-in-panama-panama-real-estate-bocas-del-toro","tag-estate-homes-in-panama","tag-move-to-panama","tag-offshore-real-estate","tag-panama-offshore-real-estate","tag-panama-papers","tag-panama-real-estate","tag-relocate-to-panama","tag-rum-in-panama","tag-travel-to-panama-rent-in-boquete-expat-tourism"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) -
