Food & Agri
Within the Food &Agri sector, there is once again a lot going on! Corona seems to be on its way out, but the Food &Agri sector has accelerated certain trends and exposed some vulnerabilities. This has also led to several structural changes within the sector.
Now for the shorter term there is a strong impact on the sector from the geopolitical developments in Ukraine. This leads to a lot of dynamics with sharply increased energy costs and inflation, decreasing demand due to the recession, decreasing margins due to limited ability to pass on price increases to (end) customers, higher transportation costs, chain issues leading to long delivery times or adjustments in products.
This will have consequences for many parties in the sector and it is expected that both on strategy, corporate enough (GEEN IDEE WAT HIER BEDOELD WORDT) will come into play. Furthermore, there are several other themes that need to be taken into account, such as sustainability, digitalization, need for transparency, blurring of distribution channels but also, for example, finding good and qualified personnel.
In short, a sector that is expected to have a lot of momentum for both the shorter and longer term.
The future of your business.
To future-proof your business, new revenue models can be developed to grow sales. It is necessary to look closely at your opportunities to finance energy transition, innovation and/or digitalization.
Here scenario analyses and liquidity models can help. One of the outcomes of an internal and external analysis of a company in the Food&Agri sector, could be that it is more profitable to take knowledge abroad, and thus internationalize, where sustainable technology yields the most.
Strategic partnerships can also be identified and established so that risk is shared and investments are more portable.
Finally, the analysis may show that it is more profitable to put the business on sale or grow it through acquisition.
JBR's sector specialists can help you with this.

JBR the right choice
sector knowledge
Dedicated team
We assist you as a Food& Agri entrepreneur in the areas of strategic issues, corporate finance and restructuring. When you work with JBR on a transaction or assignment, you always work with the same team. That way we can deliver the most added value.
International network
There has been a labor shortage in the Food&Agri sector for some time. This has accelerated the use of technology, such as sensors, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, for example in greenhouses. These developments transcend national borders. This is why we are a member of the international Global M&A Partners network where international issues are taken up for you.
Track record
We have successfully advised a broad range of parties within the food&agri industry (such as flour products, bakeries, (wholesale) trade, technological innovations, snacks and nurseries). JBR has extensive and up-to-date sector knowledge, a personal approach and a hands-on mentality.

Track record
Food Security
By 2050, the world's population will have grown from 7 to 10 billion people. To meet the demand for food from healthier and more prosperous people, global food production will have to grow by at least 60%. At the same time, constraints in the availability of land, natural resources and labor are emerging.
These are major challenges for everyone, some of which call for greater efficiency, digitization and technology. On the other hand, the trend toward efficiency and mass production, partly because of the associated climate impact, is coming under increasing pressure among parts of society.
The revision toward sustainable and local food also seems to have been endorsed by current developments.
