GuarantCo has partnered with Symbiotics to arrange a $20 million debt facility for Robust International to finance a cashew nut processing plant in Côte d'Ivoire. GuarantCo provided a 100% payment default guarantee of up to $23 million to support the loan. The transaction will finance a greenfield cashew processing plant with 15,000 MT/year capacity in Toumodi, plus aggregation warehouses in Bouaké and Toumodi. Côte d'Ivoire produces the world's largest cashew crop but currently processes only around 30% domestically. The project is forecast to procure cashews from approximately 1,500 local smallholder farmers and increase export revenue by $79.2 million. It is expected to create 510 jobs, with 40% of short-term and 80% of long-term positions filled by women. The facility features institutional funding from M&G Investments with GuarantCo's guarantee, combined with uncovered funding from impact funds advised by Symbiotics Asset Management.
