GLOBAL MEGATRENDS IN AGRICULTURE
A longer-term view of global agriculture and food. Can productivity feed the rising global population? And rising incomes are opening channels for new food products. Where does China fit into this equation? And, while many consumers are seeking food produced with “yield-reducing practices” (organic, antibiotic-free, etc); how can (and should) the market reconcile this dilemma.
2021 GLOBAL MARKET UPDATE AND OUTLOOK (BEEF, PORK, OR POULTRY)
A scan of global trade including key drivers. Politics, economics, biology, and social preferences create a web that holds global perishable food in balance; and sometimes shifts it out of balance. Currencies, competitors, and markets are explored, including an outlook, forecasts, and a watchlist of key factors.
HOW AFRICAN SWINE FEVER HAS DISRUPTED AND ALTERED GLOBAL AGRICULTURE
Just as COVID-19 has forever altered certain components of everyday life such as virtual offices and food delivery, a unique swine virus has altered global protein markets. African Swine Fever (ASF) has bounced around for a century. But when it hit China in 2018, global protein and crop markets began a path of change that will alter global flows of pork, beef, poultry, corn, and soybeans.

“There is a plethora of economists talking about the market. I often feel their focus is narrow and looking too much at just North America. I was impressed with how much I learned about why the market is acting the way it is and his arguments seemed solid or at least made sense.”
