CMI Alimentos

IDB Invest has financed Corporación Multi Inversiones (CMI) Global, also known as CMI Alimentos, since December 2019, with direct loans totaling US$250 million and up to US$475 million in syndicated loans granted by partner banks. CMI is headquartered in Guatemala and has active operations in Central America, the Dominican Republic and other countries in the region. CMI produces, among other foods, poultry, pork, sausages, and processed meats from its industrial animal breeding operations as well as concentrates for animal feed. Starting in 2023, BIC and its partners have supported field research and engaged local communities who have shared concerns about the impacts of CMI activities.
