To modernize agricultural marketing and improve access to price information, Costa Rica is promoting CENADA Digital, a national online auction platform that directly connects producers and buyers. This initiative, developed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, the Comprehensive Agricultural Marketing Program (PIMA), and IICA, enables real-time transactions, reduces intermediaries, and facilitates more direct access to markets. The platform incorporates tools such as quality standardization, product traceability, and electronic payments, contributing to more organized and formalized commercial operations. It also provides up-to-date information on prices and volumes, helping producers and buyers make better-informed decisions.

Law 2539 of 2025 amends Law 160 of 1994 and Decree Law 902 of 2017 to explicitly include rural youth in the National System of Agrarian Reform and Rural Development. The law guarantees and prioritizes their progressive access to land, to productive projects aligned with their life plans, to sustainable rural productive activities, academic and technical training, financing mechanisms and associativity. It also secures their participation in territorial governance bodies, creates a specific budget tracer for rural youth, promotes innovation, the use of ICTs, cultural rootedness and special measures for young people who are victims of armed conflict, thereby contributing to comprehensive rural reform with a territorial, generational and ethnic approach.

This legislative document proposes a Statutory Law to recognize rural and peasant youth in Colombia as rights-holders, establishing affirmative measures to ensure their access to education, health, employment, rural entrepreneurship, financial services, political participation, and digital connectivity. It includes definitions, protection measures, institutional mechanisms, and provisions to strengthen rural generational renewal, peasant agriculture, and socio-economic inclusion.

The Practical Guide for the Issuance of Thematic Securities is a document developed by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MMARN), the Superintendence of the Securities Market (SIMV), the Association of Multiple Banks (ABA) and the Stock Exchange and Securities Market of the Dominican Republic (BVRD) with technical support from the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI). This guide establishes practical guidelines to facilitate the issuance of green, social and sustainable securities in the Dominican market, aligned with international standards such as the Green Bond Principles (GBP), Social Bond Principles (SBP) and the Sustainability Bond Guidelines (SBG) of ICMA. It provides a detailed roadmap on the steps, regulatory requirements, project evaluation and selection processes, fund management and impact reporting necessary to structure these issuances. The main objective is to mobilize capital towards projects that address environmental and social challenges, supporting the implementation of the Dominican Republic's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The guide also integrates the Green Taxonomy of the Dominican Republic and promotes transparency, credibility and integrity in the country's thematic securities market.

The project seeks to improve the productivity and sustainability of rice cultivation in Colombia through an innovative technological solution that combines Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence and cyber-physical systems. This technology, developed by PS Solutions (Softbank Group), transforms agriculture into a science based on data by collecting real-time information from the environment and crops to determine optimal levels of agricultural parameters. The project will benefit 16,000 Colombian rice farmers, especially small producers from areas affected by armed conflicts who face productivity problems due to lack of access to technologies and financial services. Additionally, e-kakashi contributes to solving environmental problems by optimizing water use and reducing methane emissions from rice paddies, which represent approximately 20% of global emissions of this gas. The project has two phases: demonstration of efficacy under real conditions in collaboration with CIAT and commercial expansion in Latin America and the Caribbean, combining non-reimbursable technical cooperation (up to US$500,000) with equity investment (up to US$1,500,000).

This technical cooperation aims to strengthen the institutional capacities of the Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER) through the development and implementation of strategic tools and specialized instruments that increase the effectiveness of public policies oriented towards sectoral competitiveness and sustainability of the Mexican agricultural and fishing sector. The TC will support studies, methodologies and specialized consultancies that will strengthen the registry and program roster system, the agricultural and rural statistics system, including support in remote sensing methodologies and direct marketing models between small and medium producers. It will also finance the development of a Master Plan for Sustainable Development of Fishing, Aquaculture and Mariculture in the Peninsula and Gulf of California. The project seeks to address the structural challenges of the Mexican agricultural sector related to limited institutional capacities, fragmented information systems and barriers to the inclusion of small and medium producers. The initiative contributes directly to strengthening national food security through more effective and sustainable public policies.

IDB technical cooperation aimed at designing a national system that generates and disseminates relevant and timely information for the design, monitoring, and evaluation of competitiveness and sustainability policies for Salvadoran coffee growing. The project seeks to strengthen the coffee sector's information systems by developing a statistical system comprised of a coffee grower registry, a georeferenced coffee census, and complementary surveys that generate dynamic data with national coverage. It includes the design of mechanisms for capturing and analyzing information from national and international markets, as well as traceability systems using blockchain methodology. The project addresses the problem of the lack of specialized information that limits the design and implementation of effective policies for a sector that represents 22% of the country's forests and has historically been a national economic driver. The initiative supports the execution of loan ES-L1135 "Strengthening the Climate Resilience of Coffee Forests in El Salvador."
