Knowledge & Networks

Make informed

business decisions

Our research and insights division has 90 analysts working across the world, with a team of nine in Australia and New Zealand investigating topics key to the local food and agribusiness industry.

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. 

Connect…

locally and globally

We have millions of progressive food and agri clients across the globe who are facing similar opportunities and challenges. We can connect you across our expansive local and international network that spans the entire supply chain. Whether you’re looking to expand into a new export market, diversify your operation or invest in new technology, speak to your rural manager to tap into our contacts.

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.
