JICA Grants $75M Loan to ECOM for Coffee Farmers
Imagine a big helper called JICA is giving money to a company called ECOM.
ECOM will use this money to help coffee farmers in countries like India.
The money will help the farmers buy what they need, learn about farming, and deal with climate change.
It will help make sure farmers have a stable income.
India is a big coffee producer, and this loan helps farmers in India and other countries, supporting their families and communities.
This also aligns with global initiatives to support farmers and food security.
JICA provided a $75 million loan to ECOM to support small coffee growers in Asia.
The loan is co-financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
Funds will support farmers in India, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Vietnam.
The project will provide purchase funds, consulting services, and farming support.
The loan aligns with initiatives like India’s DFI mission and Japan's SAFE program.
