Agri-food business

Over the years we have built up a broad experience in agri-food and food ingredients. We understand the challenges in sourcing and food safety in producing countries, but also the difficulties for exporters to position themselves on the European market. Europe has a trending demand for convenience and health food, feeding the increasing diversity of food products. Every day we find new food ingredients and marketing concepts. However, a variety of challenges is presented in different parts of the supply chain.

Latin American food products

Our projects are aimed to improve the value chain by providing market intelligence and strategic support. We specialize in Latin American grains, seeds and exotic fruit, such as quinoa, chia and physalis. We help companies to sell but also to buy. And if needed we can address our European network of technology providers in order to implement innovative solutions in cultivation, processing or packaging.

  • What does it take to organize a reliable supply?
  • How can suppliers comply with the increasing food safety requirements?
  • What does it take to get your product on the European market?
  • How can producers and buyers differentiate themselves and gain a competitive advantage?

Agricultural innovation & technology providers

While the demand for high quality food products is constantly increasing, Latin America is well positioned to take a leading role as a global supplier of natural resources. The region covers a large amount of arable land in different climate zones, perfectly suitable for the production of cereals, oilseeds, meat, fruit and vegetables. Both production and export are diversifying, but in order to reach its full potential it has to face a series of challenges in efficiency, sustainability, infrastructure and crop management.

New technologies will become more and more important to secure the competitive position of Latin American agriculture and contribute to global food security. Our company works with extensive networks in Latin America and we are well equipped to link technology suppliers with local counterparts. We work in different levels throughout the production chain, from seed breeding and fertilizers to high tech horticultural equipment, storage technology, quality control systems and processing technology for food, feed or biomass.
