Rabobank predicts strong growth in worldwide food and agriculture industry
24-7-2008 | Other news
Demand for the ‘4 Fs’ (i.e. food, feed, fibre and fuel) is set to continue to increase worldwide. The combined effects of this increased demand are placing pressure on agriculture to operate more efficiently and this is in turn leading to a higher level of investment in the industry. This development is enhanced by the fact that transportation networks around the world are being improved and countries with extensive natural resources that were previously inaccessible are now accessible. This will further boost investment in agriculture and increase the value of inputs, particularly in South America, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. Rabobank puts forward the above outlook in a new Food and Agri report entitled ‘The Boom Beyond Commodities’.
