By 2050, the worldwide demand 
for food and crops will double. That poses a formidable challenge for the global community: how to feed the world’s expanding population without depleting its already scarce resources.
IFC is partnering with the private sector to address the challenge. Through our agribusiness investments, we aim to increase the supply of affordable and nutritious food, and ensure it is available to those who need it most.
In FY15, our agribusiness-related investments across the food supply chain totaled $3.2 billion, including funds mobilized from other investors. These investments in production, food processing, logistics, and distribution helped benefit 3.4 million farmers worldwide.
To strengthen national and international connectivity, Indonesia also prepared a National Port Master Plan (NPMP 2011). The NPMPs’ traffic forecast for the 2030 horizon shows that Indonesia’s container traffic will be doubled by 2020, and will quadruple by 2030. This will require capacity expansion and new port facilities development in many locations, especially in Eastern Indonesia.
