Roteiro de Financiamento Climático Para Investimentos na América Latina e no Caribe - Anexos

This document provides the technical annexes for the 'Climate Finance Roadmap for Livestock in Latin America and the Caribbean.' It details the methodologies used to assess investment risks, investor preferences, and the resulting alignment between the two. The annexes also describe the modeling of capital composition across three scenarios—Business-as-Usual (BAU), Enhanced Financial Strategies (IFS), and Enhanced Financial and Policy Strategies (IFPS)—and provide detailed characteristics of livestock farming segments in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and other LAC countries.

• The methodology for assessing investment risks categorizes risks into six areas: governance, financing, physical climate, market, infrastructure, and nature, while investment attributes are split into investment horizon, average ticket size, and return.
• Investment attributes differ significantly by farm size: large commercial properties typically have shorter investment horizons (5-10 years), larger ticket sizes (US$ 5-10 million), and higher target returns (15-25%), whereas small properties have longer horizons (10-15 years), smaller tickets (US$ 0-1 million), and lower returns (5-15%).
• Large commercial farms are assigned lower risk scores than small farms in categories of physical climate, market, infrastructure, and nature because they possess greater capacity to mitigate risks through advanced infrastructure, better international market access, and structured value chains.
• In the Business-as-Usual (BAU) scenario, public financing is the dominant source of capital for small-scale agrifood systems, while larger properties have more access to private commercial financing.
• The Enhanced Financial Strategies (IFS) and Enhanced Financial and Policy Strategies (IFPS) scenarios model a shift in capital composition where public financing's share decreases as catalytic public funding attracts more private investment.
• Brazil is identified as having a more stable macroeconomic environment and lower risks compared to Argentina and Mexico, supported by GDP growth of 2% to 3% and inflation below 4%.
• Family farms in Brazil are critical to the food system, representing 85% of all properties and producing over two-thirds of the country's food, despite occupying only 25% of agricultural land.
• In Argentina, land distribution is highly skewed, with large properties representing only 0.3% of all farmers but occupying more than three-quarters of the total agricultural land.
• In Mexico, small-scale properties produce 19% of national agricultural production and 15% of the national agricultural supply when imports and exports are considered.
• Current tracked climate finance flows for sustainable livestock in LAC are estimated at approximately US$ 100 million per year (2021-2022), but this is likely an underestimate due to gaps in private sector and domestic spending data.
