We are providing a €50 million loan to the Industrial Development Bank of Türkiye (TSKB) to support investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, climate adaptation, climate-related equipment production & circular economy initiatives. 🇹🇷
➡️The financing, provided through an on-lending arrangement with the Republic of Türkiye’s Ministry of Treasury and Finance, marks the first collaboration between the OPEC Fund and TSKB.
“By channeling funding into renewable energy, energy efficiency, and climate-resilient industries, we aim to support Türkiye’s transition to a low-emission economy and its net zero target by 2053, while fostering inclusive and green economic growth," said our President Dr. Abdulhamid Alkhalifa.🤝
TSKB CEO Murat Bilgiç said: “This secured loan aligns with national climate goals and the 2053 Long-Term Climate Strategy, contributing to sustainable development and climate adaptation efforts. We aim for this resource to finance low-emission and resilient economy projects, bringing significant benefits to our country."

From farm to factory, cocoa is the backbone of millions of smallholder farmers across Africa. ✋
➡️Ensuring a sustainable and fair cocoa supply chain goes beyond harvesting beans - it requires investment, innovation and strong partnerships.
In Côte d'Ivoire, a €50 million loan from the OPEC Fund is strengthening the cocoa sector by supporting traceable and sustainable cocoa exports through a financing package for commodities trader SucDen. 🇨🇮
Acting Senior Investment Manager Fatima Yakubu recently traveled on an to participate in the closing ceremony of this transaction and see firsthand how our financing is making a difference across the entire value chain.
She shares:
"Visiting the farms in Côte d'Ivoire reinforced just how vital sustainable financing is for the cocoa sector. Traceability and responsible sourcing are not just industry buzzwords - they are essential for improving farmers' livelihoods and securing the future of cocoa production." 🤝

Expanding SME financing in Paraguay! 🇵🇾
We arranged a syndicated loan with a US$50 million facility for the benefit of Banco Continental. While the OPEC Fund will contribute US$25 million from its own resources as A-lender, it has also mobilized a US$25 million B-loan from the Commercial Bank of Dubai.
➡️The funding will support Banco Continental’s efforts to expand lending to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and to support the agricultural sector in Paraguay by driving economic growth and bolstering food security through the provision of finance.
“Partnering with CBD and Banco Continental we are channeling resources from our member country UAE to initiatives that directly support SMEs and the agricultural sector - key pillars of sustainable growth and food security in Paraguay,” said our President Dr. Abdulhamid Alkhalifa. 🤝

USADF conducted a site visit to Apiculture Venture Limited (AVL), a grantee supporting smallholder farmers in Tana River County, Kenya. With an initial $50K grant award in FY23 through our partnership with Stanbic Bank Kenya, AVL equipped 250 smallholder apiarists—primarily women and youth—with Langstroth hives, protective gear, honey extractors, and modern beekeeping training. 🐝
In FY24, AVL was awarded an additional $99K USADF grant to further boost honey production by providing more equipment, beekeeper kits, and comprehensive training in apiary management and honey harvesting. This initiative empowers farmers to increase incomes, improve livelihoods, and promote environmental sustainability while meeting the growing demand for high-quality honey and beehive products in Kenya. 📈🇰🇪
