Global agrifood systems need urgent funding to support sustainable transformation and build climate resilience
Middle East – Global agrifood systems require annual investments of $1.1 trillion over the next five years to transition to sustainable, resilient food production models that secure employment and align with the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, current annual investment is severely lacking, reaching only 5% of the required amount. Unlocking greater capital flows will thus require innovative financing mechanisms. Currently, most private investments in food systems are concentrated in Europe and North America. Those most in need of investment – Asia Pacific, Africa and Latin America – remain significantly underfunded. A new joint report by Bain & Company and the World Economic Forum highlights innovative financing models that could lower investment barriers and bring in a broad range of financial actors to help meet the funding gap. 'Food systems transformation is not just a climate imperative — it is a commercial opportunity. Financiers with exposure to the food sector have a vested interest to improve credit risk profiles of their customers. Investing in food systems also allows financiers to adhere to increasingly stringent portfolio sustainability regulations and to deliver on critical stakeholder commitments,' said Iwona Steclik, a partner at Bain & Company's Financial Services practice in EMEA. Common barriers to funding the food system transformation include uncertainty around the financial returns, fragmented nature of food production creating operational challenges, inconsistent impact reporting and limited coordination across the value chain. Hence, innovative mechanisms are needed to scale up finance for climate resilience in agriculture. Given the diversity of food systems and varying starting points of financial institutions, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The report focuses on financing the transformation—primarily through lending—while acknowledging the importance of other instruments like insurance. The proposed financial models fall into three categories: direct farmer financing, lending via corporates, and multi-stakeholder platforms—each designed to lower investment barriers. Together, these models capture the breadth of innovation across markets, commodities, and de-risking strategies—highlighting the diverse pathways to transform food system finance. Initiatives such as Aceli Africa, Project Acorn, McCain's regenerative agriculture program, and the Innovative Finance for the Amazon, Cerrado and Chaco (IFACC) platform demonstrate how commercial, philanthropic, and government capital can be aligned for scalable impact, according to the report. 'A defining feature of all these models is the need for coordinated action across the entire value chain, including farmers, agrifood companies, retailers, financial institutions, data providers and governments. Each of these models employs de-risking strategies that span from traditional financing tools like guarantees to innovative approaches such as monetizing ecosystem outcomes,' said Derek Baraldi, Head of Sustainable at the World Economic Forum. 'Transforming food systems presents major investment opportunities for commercial capital to unlock new markets, boost revenues, and enhance portfolio resilience. However, scaling such investments requires a customized strategy aligned with an institution's strengths, portfolio, risk appetite, and sustainability goals', said Christian Graf, partner at Bain & Company and leader of the EMEA Sustainability & Responsibility Financial Services practice. To succeed, financiers should: Set clear targets on food systems transformation investments and challenge teams to identify scalable, profitable models, tailored to portfolio and capabilities. Build strategic partnerships across the food value chain (including catalytic capital providers, agrifood companies and/or farmers) to ensure shareholder returns and accelerate delivery at scale. Design and adopt innovative financing mechanisms, supported by de-risking mechanisms (including demand signals). Manage credit risk effectively to work with emerging datasets and strengthen climate impact data capabilities. Secure active and sustained senior leadership support.

Nissan launches new Leaf in push to revive its electric mojo
Nissan is betting on a new version of its Leaf electric vehicle (EV) to revive its fortunes, having gone from mass-market EV pioneer to laggard since its first model entered showrooms in 2010. The Japanese carmaker's third-generation Leaf was launched on Tuesday and will go on sale in the United States in the autumn, with other regions to follow. But its success is far from certain in the face of significant obstacles. The cars sold in the U.S. will be made at Nissan's factory in Tochigi, Japan, and therefore subject to tariffs. EV demand in the U.S., meanwhile, has cooled as customers clamour for hybrids, which Nissan still does not offer in America. "There is a high possibility that this is going on sale at the worst possible time, given the imposition of tariffs and the Trump administration's rollback of EV subsidies," said Koji Endo at SBI Securities. "If the new Leaf doesn't sell, it will mean big trouble for Nissan." The price of the new Leaf has yet to be announced, but the previous hatchback styling has been overhauled as a crossover with battery capacity up to 25% more than the previous version. Nissan estimates a maximum range of up to 303 miles in the U.S. with its 75 kWh battery. Even with the tariffs, the U.S. price will be competitive, a Nissan spokesperson said. It is difficult to understate the Leaf's symbolic importance to Nissan. It was the world's best-selling EV for years until it was overtaken by Tesla. Introduced by the now-disgraced Carlos Ghosn, it heralded Nissan's desire to play a big role in the electric future. Despite the company's troubles in recent years, it has sold almost 700,000 Leaf vehicles. Chief Executive Ivan Espinosa now faces the difficult task of delivering much-needed cost cuts while continuing to invest in development of new vehicles to refresh its ageing line-up and lack of hybrids in the United States. Espinosa has laid out plans for big cuts, including seven plant closures and 11,000 jobs. That will bring staff cuts to about 20,000, including those announced by his predecessor last year. Nissan reported a net loss of about $4.5 billion in the past financial year and faces 596 billion yen ($4.1 billion) in debt due next year. The new Leaf will also be made at the Sunderland factory in Britain. The Tochigi and Sunderland plants are not expected to be among the closures, though the Oppama factory where the Leaf was first made could be axed.

Dollar slips and yen firms after BOJ decision, Mideast conflict keeps mood tense
SINGAPORE/LONDON - The dollar slipped slightly against a range of currencies on Tuesday including the yen, which strengthened following the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) rate decision. Broader risk sentiment remained fragile with the Israel-Iran conflict entering its fifth day. The BOJ delivered little surprise to markets at the conclusion of its two-day monetary policy meeting, as it stood pat on rates and laid out a new plan to decelerate the pace of its balance sheet drawdown next year in the face of rising risks such as the Middle East conflict and U.S. tariffs. The yen swung between losses and gains after the decision, turning negative during Governor Kazuo Ueda's press conference, but the dollar was last down around 0.1% on the yen at 144.65 yen. "The BOJ still has a huge amount of (Japanese government bonds) and it's not decreasing that much. So in that case, the slowdown of the purchasing pace is probably partly because of the volatile market for JGBs and also the uncertainty over the global economy," said Tohru Sasaki, chief strategist at Fukuoka Financial Group. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and U.S. President Donald Trump have yet to reach a trade deal. Developments in the Middle East are keeping the mood tense, with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday saying he wanted a "real end" to the nuclear dispute with Iran, and indicating he may send senior American officials to meet with the Islamic Republic. It follows news on Monday from the White House that Trump was leaving the Group of Seven summit in Canada a day early due to the situation in the Middle East, as the president has requested that the national security council be prepared in the situation room. "Even though Israel and Iran are attacking each other, I'd say the market is a bit numb to this conflict, at least regarding the FX market," said Michael Pfister, FX analyst at Commerzbank, highlighting that moves last Friday were not that severe, even though the news would usually warrant a huge risk off move to safe havens. "A lot of people ask whether this is an argument for the continued USD safe haven status, but against other currencies like the Canadian dollar and Norwegian krone, which usually suffer in these risk off environments, the dollar was not able to benefit," he said. It is more the price of oil that is behind the dollar moves, he said. The escalations have sent the price of Brent crude higher. Elsewhere, the euro was marginally firmer at $1.1569. The pound was last down 0.1% against the dollar at $1.35640 . Trump signed an agreement on Monday formally lowering some tariffs on imports from Britain as the countries continue working toward a formal trade deal. The risk-sensitive Australian dollar was up 0.22% at $0.6539. Meanwhile, against a basket of currencies, the dollar was off 0.1% at 98.124. The Federal Reserve's policy decision on Wednesday is taking centre stage for FX market watchers. Expectations are for the central bank to keep rates on hold, though the focus will be on any guidance regarding the rate outlook. Investors also looked ahead to other central bank decisions including from the Bank of England (BoE) and Sweden's Riksbank later this week to guide the next move in markets.
