Make informed business decisions

Each analyst has their own specific sector or commodity, covering beef, sheep meat, grains, dairy, sugar, horticulture, cotton, wool and wine. They study trends and developments in the worldwide food chain, to provide insights from both a local and global perspective.

Our analysts spend a lot of time getting out and sharing relevant market, commodity and economic outlooks and potential impacts, both one-on-one in client meetings and through presentations at local events across Australia and industry conferences.

We also organise international analysts to visit regional locations to share their knowledge and expertise. This gives you an easy way to stay ahead of developments in your sector.

Rural Confidence Survey

Knowledge is a two-way street. We think it’s vital to understand what our farmers are thinking and how they’re responding to current conditions.

Since 2000, we’ve commissioned an independent research organisation to conduct a quarterly Rural Confidence Survey, interviewing an average of 1,200 farmers across Australia. Monitoring outlook and general sentiment in the country’s major agricultural industries, it is the most robust study of its type.

To facilitate knowledge sharing and to bring leading farmers and the next generation of farmers together to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing agriculturalists, Rabobank has established the Global Farmers Master Class and Young Farmers Master Class.

The Master Classes combine experiential learning through study tours with interactive conference sessions – and deep dive into the agricultural industry, food production, food processing and distribution - investigating the topics of sustainability, science and technology, social media, IT, supply chains and succession.

What Masterclass participants have said

"This event really shows that Rabobank cares about more than just its bottom line. We all stand to benefit from this Masterclass: The Industry, the participants and Rabobank."

Frank and Annerre Volleman
Dairy Farmers, Texas

"The Global Farmers Master Class provided a wonderful opportunity for us to meet people and learn from each other."

Trienke Elshof
Dairy Farmer, The Netherlands

"The Young Farmers Master Class reinforced to me that Australian farmers and farm practices are very innovative. But to be successful in the future, we will need to think more globally and far beyond the farm gate, and get better at working together, through agricultural cooperatives for example."

Jamie Jurgens
Tomato Grower, Far North Queensland
