Food & Agri
The Food & Agri sector is undergoing significant changes, both in the short and long term. Rising energy costs and inflation, shrinking margins, higher transportation costs, and supply chain disruptions are creating a highly dynamic environment, while issues such as sustainability, digitalization, and labor shortages call for structural changes. At the same time, global demand for food continues to grow, calling for efficiency, innovation, and new revenue models.

From Short-Term Pressure to Long-Term Value
The Food & Agri sector is undergoing rapid change, both in the short and long term. The Netherlands feels the effects of geopolitical tensions in this sector more acutely than many other countries because the sector is so closely intertwined with the global economy: with agricultural exports totaling over €137 billion, the Netherlands is not only a producer but also a trade hub. Disrupted trade flows, export restrictions on fertilizer, and volatile energy prices directly impact farmers’ and processors’ costs, while sustainability, digitalization, and growing global food demand call for structural decisions. At the same time, this presents an opportunity: the Netherlands also exports knowledge and technology—from plant breeding to processing technology—and in a world where food security is becoming a strategic issue, that knowledge base may carry more weight than sheer scale.
These often involve questions such as:
- What new revenue models will keep your business healthy and drive revenue growth?
- Where in your company is there room to finance sustainability, innovation, and digitization?
- How do you capitalize on your knowledge and technology edge, for example by expanding internationally and applying your expertise where it yields the greatest returns?
- Is this the right time to grow through an acquisition, or is it actually time to sell?
JBR works with you to address these issues and translates them into well-founded strategic and financial decisions, using a personalized, hands-on approach and expertise in strategy, corporate finance, and restructuring.
