Compania Agropecuaria Copeval S.A. ("Copeval" or the"Company") is Chile's leading agricultural input distributor, reaching more than 30,000 farmers. Copeval offers a "one-stop shop" to farmers, providing agrochemicals, fertilizers, seeds, agricultural machinery, irrigation equipment, intermediation and logistics services, technical assistance and training. The proposed loan will help the Company open new branches, expand further grain storage and drying capacity; and to replace short term debt with long term debt.

The expanded operations means the company will grow from 27 to 30 stores by the end of 2013. The stores will be located throughout Chile's main agricultural regions. The Company will also continue to expand its services and distribution of inputs to farmers and agricultural SMEs (small-medium enterprises).

The company is headquartered in San Fernando, Chilean VI region. The Company currently has 27 stores spread all throughout Chile's agricultural main areas which comprises from the III to the X region.

RISK CATEGORIZATION

This investment is a Category B project, because IFC has determined that it will have limited adverse impacts that are few in number, site-specific, and largely reversible and readily addressed through mitigation measures. The key environmental and social issues include: (i) Copeval's ability to provide systematic and consistent management of environmental and social issues across its operations; (ii) compliance with local permits and licenses for operation, transportation and distribution of products and services; (iii) handling, storage, distribution and transportation of hazardous materials, (iv) compliance of the portfolio of products with WHO hazards class (e.g. exclusion of Ia (extremely hazardous) and Ib (highly hazardous) products) and the Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO)' International Code of conduct on the distribution and use of Pesticides; and (v) labor and working conditions, including occupational health and safety.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS RISK ASSESSMENT

Right to Health

Copeval's expansion of operations will naturally mean continued large scale usage and transportation of various agrochemicals, expansion of hazardous material storage operations, expanded waste disposal operation, and increased potential for worker exposure to the aforementioned materials. Several of the agrochemicals used by Copeval are categorized by the World Health Organization as Class Ib, highly hazardous. However, IFC is not requiring Copeval to discontinue use of these chemicals immediately. Rather, Copeval will phase them out gradually over the next three years. Accordingly, the following questions should be asked:

• Has your health been affected since the beginning of the investment project?
• Has the health of some community groups been affected more than others?
• Has women's health been affected since the beginning of the investment project?
• If there have been public health problems related to the investment project, have you been informed of these problems?
• What opportunities are available if you feel that your right to health has been affected?
• Do you have reasons to believe that your health and/or your access to health services could be affected as a result of the planned investment project?

Copeval's expansion will significantly increase its operational funding needs. IFC will provide a financing facility of up to US$70 million, including a securitized bond to finance increased permanent working capital needs and support Copeval's growth efforts and further geographical reach within Chile. The investment will provide structured long term financing in local currency at longer terms than usually available in the local market.

Copeval was established in 1956 as a cooperative and since 2003 it turned into a listed company in the Santiago Stock Exchange. Its major share holders are: Gonzalo Martino Gonzalez (23%), Ariztia Group (22%) and Hernan Bozzo (17%).

CONSULTATION PROCESS

According to IFC, Copeval representatives interact with local authorities during the planning and operation of new branches or grain processing facilities. Given the location of the branches and distribution centers, interaction with local community is limited. There are not local requirements to disclose or consult before new branches are open. Engagement with communities in which company facilities are located is on an informal basis; however any concerns from the community are addressed through the existing integrated environmental and social management system, specifically under the communication procedures and all queries should be recorded. Copeval will publicly disclose the contents of the IFC's environmental and social review summary and will respond to concerns, and where necessary will undertake actions to address these concerns.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IFC

The Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an IFC or MIGA- financed project. If you submit a complaint to the CAO, they may assist you in resolving a dispute with the company and/or investigate to assess whether the IFC is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. If you want to submit a complaint electronically, you can email the CAO at CAO@worldbankgroup.org. You can learn more about the CAO and how to file a complaint at http://www.cao-ombudsman.org/
