AGRICULTURE & AQUACULTURE
For assets in the agriculture and aquaculture space, performance is shaped as much by market access and buyer dynamics as by climate or yield. Matters Graph has significant experience navigating the intricacies of the agriculture, aquaculture, and related agribusiness markets, encompassing crops, animals, specialty products, controlled-environment agriculture, and ag-inputs.
Commercial Due Diligence in agriculture and aquaculture must consider commodity risk—weighing it appropriately across an asset’s commodity exposure and level of volatility—as well as contract stability, a diverse range of stakeholders in the value chain, and a set of evolving global end-markets.
With local producers making buying choices while serving regional or even global consumer markets, the ability to think and analyze globally is key: Voice of Customer (“VoC”) research with distributors, buyers, and co-ops can help uncover adoption and switching triggers, pricing power, replacement cycles, unexpected sources of volatility or stability, and other critical matters that influence demand, choice/share, and profitability for the products and services that support agriculture.
Matters Graph has experience conducting CDD for agriculture and agribusiness deals in aquaculture, farming (including innovations like vertical farming), sustainable agriculture, agriculture “infrastructure” (software and hardware), supply chain management, logistics solutions, food production automation, and protein processing (products and services like rendering), among many others.
