Publication dateObjectiveSectors
Nicaragua is an energy-poor and agriculture-dependent country. While the cattle and dairy sector is a dominating force among the country’s agricultural sectors, its productive output is remarkably low compared to that of neighbouring countries. Inefficient herding and farm management leads to hygiene issues, high loss of livestock and low production. Most small scale farmers lack access to modern energy. The sector is in dire need of productivity improvements to remain competitive in the region.

Publication dateObjectiveSectors
Nicaragua, one of Central America’s poorest countries, increasingly suffers from droughts and unstable weather conditions, hampering yields and output of smallholder farmers dependent on agriculture for livelihood. While only up to 10% of arable land is irrigated, Nicaragua requires sustainable solutions for the sector to tackle water scarcity, improve production and food security, and reduce GHG emissions from inefficient and poor farming practices.

Publication dateObjectiveSectors
Accelerate the market transformation towards energy efficient products in Central America by supporting the development of Standards and Labelling programs at a regional level.
-
This Market Study is meant to be a first step in addressing identified barriers for air conditioners and industrial motors, by providing technical input to the decision-making process of Central American governments considering energy efficiency regulations for the products studied.
