About

Vanuatu Capital Investment Immigration Plan (CIIP)

The CIIP, in its current form was launched by the Government of Vanuatu in 2023. The Program raises funds in support of the further development of the country through attracting high net worth applicants to invest in, and take Citizenship in Vanuatu. The investment-linked CIIP is already proving to be highly successful and destined to contribute a significant a significant portion of Vanuatu’s national income.

Whilst most of the applicants have historically been from APAC and EMEA, the attractiveness of the program has resulted in increasing numbers of applications from around the globe. With its straight-forward and streamlined application process, Vanuatu’s CIIP is undoubtably one of the most compelling Citizenship by Investment options available anywhere today.

Objective

The overall objective of the CNO Future Fund is to establish a meaningful and effective link between Vanuatu’s sustainable development objectives, it’s commitment to 100% renewable electricity generation and the funds generated by Vanuatu’s CIIP Citizenship By Investment program.

Vanuatu has launched one of the world’s most ambitious climate adaptation policies, committing to 100% renewable energy in electricity generation by 2030. Coconut Oil (CNO) is identified in Vanuatu’s sustainable development goals as a key driver of this transition and an opportunity exists for significant development of the CNO sector in Vanuatu – stimulating the domestic economy, supporting local business, and generating significant job opportunities.

The CNO Fund focus will be to significantly enhance the country’s capability in the renewable energy sector. This will be achieved through appropriate levels of investment in the Coconut Oil sector. This industry is in the early stages of development but the opportunities for major growth are significant, both in the direct production process and in the indirect activities that are critical to the overall success of the sector. Potential investment sectors will include agriculture, supply chain logistics and commercial property, driven by the potential for significant value appreciation.

Benefits

Who benefits from the CNO Future fund?

Local Farmers

The CNO Future Fund plays a crucial role in supporting local farmers by addressing key challenges such as copra drying, market connectivity, pricing fluctuations, labor shortages, and the lack of automation. Through strategic investments in infrastructure and technology, including modern drying facilities and efficient transportation methods like containerized logistics, the fund enhances productivity and quality in coconut production. This support not only improves economic outcomes for farmers but also fosters sustainable agricultural practices, diversifying revenue streams through initiatives in poultry, root crops, tropical fruits, and kava cultivation.

Communities

The CNO Future Fund's initiatives extend beyond farming to benefit communities across Vanuatu. By focusing on inclusive social development, the fund enhances employment opportunities, improves community infrastructure with projects like building improvements, solar installations, and access to clean water. Economic growth and enhanced market connectivity driven by the fund's investments contribute directly to community welfare, funding further social and economic development initiatives that strengthen local resilience and prosperity.

Investors

Investing in Vanuatu's coconut industry through the CNO Future Fund offers investors significant economic opportunities and supports sustainable development goals. The fund creates employment, enhances farm-based revenue, and improves market connectivity, fostering long-term economic growth. By promoting environmentally sustainable practices aligned with Vanuatu's Clean Green Fuel objectives, the fund attracts socially responsible investors committed to driving positive social and environmental impact alongside financial returns.

Government

Partnering closely with government agencies, the CNO Future Fund contributes to Vanuatu's economic development and 2030 renewable energy targets. Through structured supply-chain development and revenue generation initiatives, the fund supports the commercialization of the coconut industry, capturing unrealized revenue and enhancing economic resilience.

This strategic alignment with Vanuatu's policy frameworks ensures sustainable energy supply and economic circularity, positioning the country for long-term environmental and economic prosperity.
