23 Biostimulants are natural or biologically derived products that enhance plant growth, soil health, and resilience to stress, supporting sustainable and climate - resilient agriculture. – Yield improvements : Biostimulants reduce irrigation requirements, enhance crop yields and improve farm resilience to heat, drought, and other pressures – Reduced synthetic inputs: Enhanced nutrient uptake reduces need for synthetic fertilizer use without sacrificing productivity Archetype Emerging Nature impact Transformative impact Suitability of financing and de - risking instruments Technological/ process maturity Capital intensity Scalability Bonds Loans Equity Other De - risking Commercial bonds Thematic bonds Sustainability - linked bonds Impact bonds Commercial loans Thematic loans / project finance Sustainability - linked loans Impact loans Commercial equity Private equity Venture capital Impact equity Blended finance Insurance Legend: Low High Low suitability High suitability Payments for ecosystem services Land ecosystem Ocean ecosystem Freshwater use Resource use Pollution Co - benefits Climate Social ✓ ✓ – Commercially available: New formulations and delivery are expanding range of applications, but efficacy varies by crop and soil. – Varied market penetration: Adoption particularly strong in some regions with some inconsistencies in awareness and efficacy . – Financing suitability characteristics: Commercial and thematic loans are appropriate for well - established biostimulant producers with moderate capital intensity manufacturing facilities, supporting debt or project finance options. Sustainability - linked loans are becoming important primarily when supported by credible, verifiable environmental or productivity outcome metrics. Smaller or early - stage producers stand to benefit significantly from blended finance solutions that share risk with purchasers, cooperatives, or value chain partners, enabling accelerated market adoption and scale - up despite measurement challenges.– Revenue potential from agribusinesses : Biostimulants provide revenues from consumers wishing to improve farming resilience – Moderate production investment : Requires investment in specialized facilities and quality control.
