• Description:
• The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is evaluating a SAF project in Brazil. The client-s agricultural component (AGRICo) includes the development of an approximately 200,000-hectare macaúba plantation (in 5 hubs of 40,000 hectares) for the generation of feedstock (the Project). Macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata) is a native plant from Brazil that thrives in tropical regions and subtropical regions with high rainfall and solar radiation. Notably adaptable, it can also grow successfully in other environments, including degraded lands. Macaúba is recognized as a high-yield oil-producing plant with strong drought tolerance and disease resistance. The land acquisition process for AGRICo started in 2024, with the first macaúba harvest expected by 2028. The agricultural component will also include the construction of 5 crushing hubs (associated with each agricultural hub) to convert the macaúba fruit into macaúba oil. Further, it will include the client's own facilities for seedling production and agronomic experimentation.As part of the project engagement, IFC is looking to assist the company in a gap assessment of current protocols/policies against IFC-s Performance Standards (PS). To support this aim, IFC is looking to contract an expert to i) conduct a deep dive into the company-s agricultural component and against all IFC Performance Standards World Bank Group General Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines, and will include sustainable management practices as codified in globally recognized standard(s) aligned with PS6, such as RSPO; ii) propose an action plan to close identified gaps and achieve alignment with IFC-s PS and WBG EHS Guidelines.
