Rabobank’s RaboResearch Food and Agribusiness team in North America has published a 26-page report that includes an analysis and summary of market conditions and trends across North American agriculture.

The North American Agribusiness Review, an update issued every other month, features market outlooks and key insights in a variety of agriculture sectors, including everything from grains and oilseeds to beer and wine, according to a news release. The RaboResearch North American team consists of 20 analysts who monitor and evaluate the market events that affect food and agriculture to help clients navigate the ever-changing sector landscape, the release said.

In the February issue, RaboResearch economists provide an overview of what developments to watch in the upcoming months in North America, including inflation, supply chain headwinds and pricing, according to the release.

“On the consumer side, we continue to see sticky inflation, particularly in services,” Roland Fumasi, head of RaboResearch North America, said in the release. “As planting season approaches, producers are facing a potential shift in global weather patterns and continue to experience market volatility driven by global events. In the Review, the RaboResearch team discerns key insights into agricultural markets and conducts an analysis of the factors that drive sectors like wheat, dairy, cattle and other key commodities’ success or failure.”

The report gives market outlooks for strawberries, lemons, avocados and apples.

Along with the North American Agribusiness Review, Rabo AgriFinance clients have exclusive access to a range of other RaboResearch reports throughout the year, plus webinars and client events featuring RaboResearch analysis, the release said.
