Podcasts about Rabobank

Markets are nervous as it feels like an either-or setup soon with the US-Europe relationship over the Trump administration's apparent intent to "take" or "buy" Greenland - are we set for a TACO and a deal or a significant break in the transatlantic alliance, both in terms of defense and trade? Also, history is being made with the treatment of Venezuela's oil revenues, US treasury yields may finally be on the move, earnings season is revving up and much more. Today's pod is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. As noted on today's pod, Brent Johnson of Santiago Capital interviewed Rabobank's visionary macro strategist Michael Every - a must watch. Also, an X account of unknown authenticity but with many provocative takes on many pressing issues of late points out the novel treatment of Venezuela's oil revenues and what this could indicate. For our longer form podcasts, you will also find links discussed on the podcast and a chart-of-the-day over at the John J. Hardy substack.

This Day in Legal History: Judge Robert W. Archbald ImpeachedOn January 13, 1913, Judge Robert W. Archbald of the U.S. Commerce Court was convicted by the U.S. Senate on articles of impeachment and removed from office, becoming one of the earliest federal judges ousted through this constitutional process. The House had impeached him the prior July on thirteen charges of corruption and misconduct, five of which the Senate upheld. Archbald had used his judicial position to secure favorable deals from railroads and coal companies—entities that regularly appeared before his court. These secretive contracts, executed through intermediaries to obscure his involvement, allowed him to purchase valuable coal lands below market value.One of the more egregious acts involved advising a railroad representative on how to amend legal pleadings to improve their chances of winning in court—a direct violation of judicial ethics. After a twenty-eight-year judicial career, Archbald's fall was swift. His defense largely relied on claims of pure motives, rather than denial of the facts. A senator observed afterward that Archbald was “convicted, not so much of being corrupt, as of lack of plain common sense,” noting his failure to grasp the ethical boundaries expected of judges.The Senate vote was overwhelming, with only five senators dissenting. Every former judge in the Senate, save one, voted to convict. Archbald's conviction marked the first successful impeachment for judicial corruption in U.S. history; earlier impeachments, like that of Judge Pickering in 1804, were rooted in issues like insanity, not unethical conduct. The case prompted calls for reform of the impeachment process itself, with suggestions to create a special judicial conduct court or authorize Senate committees to streamline trials. More broadly, the case had a chilling effect throughout public service, reinforcing ethical standards across all levels of government.Uber is facing a high-stakes sexual assault trial in Phoenix that could have sweeping implications for thousands of similar lawsuits. The case, brought by Oklahoma resident Jaylynn Dean, alleges that Uber failed to protect her from an assault by a driver in 2023. Dean claims Uber has long been aware of sexual assaults committed by drivers but has not taken adequate steps to improve rider safety. This trial marks the first federal bellwether case in a massive consolidation of over 3,000 lawsuits involving similar allegations.Uber maintains that it should not be held liable for criminal actions of independent contractors, arguing its safety features, background checks, and transparency are sufficient. Still, the company faces additional lawsuits in California state court and has been criticized for its historic lack of oversight and a culture focused more on growth than safety.A jury in a previous California case found Uber negligent but ruled that negligence wasn't a direct cause of harm. Uber tried to delay Dean's trial, claiming her attorneys influenced the jury pool with misleading advertisements, but the judge allowed proceedings to continue. The outcome could influence settlement talks, regulatory scrutiny, and investor confidence as Uber continues to defend its safety record.Uber faces sexual assault trial in Arizona that puts its safety record under scrutiny | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in two high-profile cases challenging state laws in Idaho and West Virginia that bar transgender students from participating in female sports teams. While the court previously upheld a ban on gender-affirming care for minors in Tennessee, that ruling was seen as narrow. The decision to now consider sports-related bans has heightened concerns among transgender rights advocates about broader implications for legal protections.At the heart of these cases is whether such bans violate the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause or Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in education. Legal scholars warn that the court's ruling could shape future policies affecting transgender people beyond athletics—such as bathroom access, military service, and healthcare. The Supreme Court's conservative majority has previously supported limits on transgender rights, including allowing restrictions on gender markers for passports and banning transgender people from military service.Idaho's law is being challenged by Lindsay Hecox, a transgender college student who has since stopped playing sports, while West Virginia's ban is being challenged by 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, who has been allowed to compete under lower court rulings. The states argue the laws protect fairness in women's sports by preventing perceived competitive advantages. Lower courts have reached opposing conclusions on the legality of the bans, setting the stage for the Supreme Court to clarify whether restrictions based on biological sex or transgender status require heightened scrutiny.The Court may also have to decide whether its 2020 decision protecting transgender workers under Title VII extends to school settings under Title IX. Legal observers say this case could reshape how courts approach not just transgender rights but broader equal protection claims.US Supreme Court's next transgender rights battle could affect more than sports | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear Citigroup's appeal in a lawsuit accusing the bank of enabling a major fraud at Mexican oil services company Oceanografía, effectively allowing the case to proceed. More than 30 plaintiffs—including bondholders, shipping firms, and Rabobank—allege that Citigroup's Banamex unit knowingly financed Oceanografía to the tune of $3.3 billion between 2008 and 2014, despite the company's mounting debt and fraudulent practices, including forged Pemex signatures.Oceanografía, which serviced Mexico's state-owned oil giant Pemex, collapsed in 2014 and was later declared bankrupt. Citigroup uncovered $430 million in fraudulent advances and was fined $4.75 million by the SEC in 2018 for inadequate internal controls. Plaintiffs argue Citigroup hid critical information while profiting from interest on the advances.At the center of the legal battle is whether bondholders can sue Citigroup under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), which allows for triple damages. Citigroup contended their claims were standard securities fraud allegations not suited for RICO and pointed to conflicting rulings in other federal appeals courts. However, the 11th Circuit found the plaintiffs' claims plausible, noting it defied belief that a sophisticated bank like Citigroup was unaware of the fraud. By refusing to hear the appeal, the Supreme Court leaves that ruling intact and allows the lawsuit to move forward.US Supreme Court rebuffs Citigroup appeal in lawsuit over Mexican oil company fraud | ReutersThis week, my column for Bloomberg looks at an obscure but telling tax provision: the so-called NASCAR tax break.Dozens of tax provisions expired at the end of 2025, and Congress will soon debate whether to revive them. Among these is the motorsports entertainment complex depreciation break, which allows racetrack owners to write off their facilities over just seven years—a timeline far shorter than that allowed for buildings like housing or wastewater plants. Initially enacted in 2004 as part of the American Jobs Creation Act, the break was a reaction to a Treasury reclassification effort that would have extended depreciation timelines for motorsports. Rather than accepting the change, Congress locked in the favorable treatment to preserve the status quo.Since then, the provision has been extended repeatedly, despite no clear policy rationale or economic justification. Unlike other tax incentives that at least attempt to stimulate broader economic development, the NASCAR break benefits a narrow group of wealthy owners in a lucrative, sponsor-heavy industry. The economic spillover is minimal, and unlike subsidies for sports stadiums—which are themselves of dubious value—this break doesn't even offer the illusion of local benefit.Its survival has more to do with inertia and lobbying than public interest. Letting it remain expired would save money and demonstrate that the tax code isn't permanently rigged in favor of politically connected sectors. More broadly, the column argues for a disciplined framework to evaluate all expiring provisions based on economic efficiency, equity, administrability, and demonstrated value.

In deze tweede terugblikaflevering kijken we terug op 2025 door de bril van infrastructuur, institutionele macht en de markt. Een belangrijk vertrekpunt daarbij zijn stablecoins. De hoeveelheid geld die bij uitgevers als Tether staat geparkeerd, groeide het afgelopen jaar verder door. Die toename kwam vooral door bredere inzet van stablecoins als handelsmiddel, als schakel tussen crypto en traditionele markten en als alternatief voor dollars in delen van de wereld waar toegang tot het financiële systeem beperkt is. Dat roept vragen op over de rol van die uitgevers. Grote sommen geld staan feitelijk buiten het bancaire systeem, terwijl ze wel een steeds belangrijkere functie vervullen binnen datzelfde systeem. Ook tokenisatie stond dit jaar nadrukkelijker op de agenda. Jarenlang bleef het vooral bij beloftes, maar in 2025 kwamen concrete toepassingen op gang. Banken en financiële instellingen experimenteerden met onchain money markets, fondsen en andere producten. Bedrijven als Robinhood brachten zelfs aandelen naar de blockchain. De vraag is waar in dit model uiteindelijk de waarde terechtkomt: bij de blockchain zelf, bij de uitgever van het product of bij de partij die bestaande financiële instrumenten ‘onchain’ brengt. Dat bepaalt ook voor wie deze ontwikkeling het meest gunstig uitpakt. Een opvallende toepassing dit jaar was Polymarket, een platform voor voorspellingen dat liet zien hoe blockchains kunnen worden ingezet voor markten rond informatie en verwachtingen. Tegelijkertijd werd ook in Nederland geëxperimenteerd. ING werkte aan plannen voor een euro-stablecoin en Rabobank bood een Bitcoin ETP aan. Dat wijst op serieuze interesse, maar ook hier blijft de vraag of dit fundamenteel nieuwe toepassingen zijn of vooral varianten op bestaande producten. Richting 2026 lijkt verdere adoptie waarschijnlijk, maar het debat draait steeds meer om de toegevoegde waarde en de vraag of crypto wordt geïntegreerd of juist opgeslokt door de traditionele financiële wereld. Institutionele adoptie speelde daarbij een grote rol. In de VS gingen vrijwel alle grote partijen aan de slag met crypto, variërend van banken tot vermogensbeheerders. De drijfveer lijkt een mix van overtuiging en angst om achter te blijven. Fed-voorzitter Jerome Powell noemde bitcoin dit jaar ‘digital gold’, een uitspraak die veel zegt over hoe de munt inmiddels wordt gezien. Ook overheden roerden zich. De staat Texas begon met het aanleggen van een strategische bitcoinreserve. Dat is iets anders dan bedrijven die bitcoin op de balans zetten, zoals Strategy. Dat laatste bleek geen onverdeeld succes. Het aantal bedrijven met een bitcoinreserve groeide snel, maar sommigen kwamen al in de problemen. Tot slot de markt. Eind 2024 werden scenario’s geschetst waarin bitcoin eind 2025 op 150.000 dollar zou kunnen staan, maar zelfs dat niveau werd niet gehaald. De markt overschatte bepaalde verhalen, terwijl eerdere euforie de prijs tijdelijk opstuwde. In het najaar kantelde het sentiment en bleek de markt minder stabiel dan gehoopt. Dat roept de vraag op hoe volwassen crypto werkelijk is. Vooruitkijkend spelen macro-economische ontwikkelingen, de rol van ETF’s en bredere financiële trends een bepalende rol voor 2026.

Een grote stroomstoring heeft het treinverkeer in de kanaaltunnel tussen Londen en Frankrijk volledig stilgelegd. Volgens Getlink kunnen treinen geleidelijk weer gaan rijden, maar Eurostar waarschuwt dat het langer gaat duren om het volledige schema tussen Amsterdam, Brussel, Londen en Parijs te herstellen. Duizenden reizigers zijn getroffen door de uitval, waarbij alle Eurostar-treinen vandaag geannuleerd zijn en alternatieven beperkt zijn. Europese leiders komen volgende week in Parijs bijeen om veiligheidsgaranties voor Oekraïne te bespreken. Volgens politiek verslaggever Michal van der Toorn is nog niet bekend wie er fysiek aanwezig zijn, maar het overleg staat in het teken van Europese verantwoordelijkheid nu de VS en Oekraïne onderhandelen en Rusland dreigende taal uit. De Poolse premier Tusk suggereert dat er hoop is op vrede, maar een duurzame oplossing lijkt voorlopig ver weg. De champagneverkoop blijft dalen en ook investeringen in de sector lopen terug. Sectoreconoom François Sonneville van Rabobank noemt hogere Amerikaanse tarieven, veranderende consumententrends en medische ontwikkelingen als oorzaken. Champagne is vaker vervangen door alternatieven als cava en prosecco, waardoor ook beursgenoteerde champagnehuizen een lagere aandelenkoers laten zien.

It's The Ranch It Up Radio Show! Join Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew as they hear how feeding Farmatan to bred cows now can help prevent scours this upcoming calving season.  Plus news, markets, updates, bred cow prices and lots more on this all-new episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show.  Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. How To Prevent Calf Scours: Feed Farmatan   Feed Farmatan To Prevent Scours This Upcoming Calving Season Calving season is getting ready to start for many producers and for some others it is still a ways away yet.  Regardless, we need to get a jump on scours and make sure each and every calf that hits the ground has the best chance of survival.  A simple solution… FARMATAN from Imogene Ingredients.   WHAT CAUSES SCOURS IN BEEF CATTLE/CALVES Clostridia-Enterotoxemia The most common form of Clostridium in cattle is caused by Clostridia perfringens. The gram-positive bacteria are a challenge due to its ability to form spores and lay dormant for long-periods of time. The bacteria reproduce by releasing spores into its environment (soil, feed, manure). The spores can even lay dormant in the animal's intestine until opportunity presents itself. Infection takes place either through ingestion of spores or through an open wound. The most severe cases happen within the first month of a calf's life, and can result in sudden death. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Bloody, Mucus Present, Bubbly Dehydrated Bloat Blindness Prevention/Treatment: Prevention can be difficult due to the Clostridia spores being extremely durable and present almost everywhere. Complete cleanout and disinfection between calves is helpful, but not always effective. A good vaccination program will reduce clinical disease. The best method is to develop good gut health and the immune system of the calf. Farmatan has been shown to strengthen the intestinal wall, helping to prevent infection from taking hold. Coccidiosis Cattle are host to numerous species of Coccidia, a single-celled protozoal parasite. Infection and clinical symptoms can happen any time during a calf's life, with the most severe reaction usually occurring between 3-6 weeks of age. The life-cycle of coccidia requires time to infect the intestine causing destruction of the mucosal and epithelial lining. The oocytes mature outside the host in warm, moist environments before being consumed, causing infection of a new host. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Watery, Bloody Depression Weight Loss Prevention/Treatment: Prevention of Coccidiosis is possible by keeping young calves separate from older animals, providing clean water and feed, and dry conditions. Isolation of infected animals is key to preventing transmission. Keeping the pen dry is the most important step a farmer/rancher can take in preventing Coccidiosis. Treatment can have a good impact on reducing secondary disease, and speeding up recovery time. Farmatan has been shown to disrupt the reproductive cycle of Coccidia; and may help strengthen the intestinal wall to prevent infection, in both the cow and calf. Coronavirus Bovine Coronavirus is a ubiquitous, envelope-viral disease, causing respiratory and enteric infection. There are many serotypes for this virus, making it difficult to test for, and create a vaccine. Coronavirus can present as either diarrhea and/or respiratory illness; transmitted through nasal discharge and/or feces. Animal reservoirs continue to spread the disease, and make eradication almost impossible. Clinical disease will likely occur between days 10-14, and present for up to 4 days. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Watery Nasal Discharge Coughing Prevention/Treatment: Prevention is difficult due to wild animals transmitting the disease. Keeping wild animals out of animal enclosures is essential. Isolation of infected animals is critical to preventing the spread of Coronavirus. Adequate colostrum intake, along with a good vaccination program will help prevent clinical disease. Learn more about the positive effects of Farmtan's active ingredient on Coronavirus HERE. Cryptosporidium Cryptosporidium Parvum is a single-celled parasite responsible for causing infection in young calves. The infection takes place within the first four weeks of a calves' life, afterwards immunity has developed within the calf. The parasite is either passed from the cow or spread through infected water sources. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Watery, Bloody, Mucus present Colic Depression Prevention/Treatment: Good sanitary conditions, especially clean water is essential in preventing transmission of cryptosporidium. Isolation of sick calves will help reduce the effect on the overall herd. There is some good effect of calves given adequate colostrum, however this is likely helping by reducing other pathogenic loads rather than a direct effect on Cryptosporidium, itself. Farmatan fed prior to calving has been shown to disrupt the life-cycle and reduce transmission from the cow. The direct action of Farmatan on the parasite makes it an excellent choice for treating calves. Learn more about the positive effect of Farmatan's active ingredient HERE. E-Coli Escherichia Coli is a bacterial infection that affects calves within the first week of their life. The bacteria colonize in the lower intestine and produce a toxin. The toxin causes excessive secretion of fluids. The zoonotic disease has special importance in food safety and human health. Colostrum and natural immunity are often not sufficient in preventing infection in cases of high bacterial concentrations. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Creamy, Yellow Abdominal Pains Fever Vomiting Prevention/Treatment: The best prevention methods for E. Coli include: clean water, dry bedding/environment, isolation of infected animals, and vaccination. Treatment with antibiotics and oral fluids have great benefits in reducing clinical symptoms of the disease. Farmatan has been shown to reduce bacterial load and help prevent infection. Learn more about the positive effects of Farmatan's active ingredient HERE. Rotavirus Rotavirus in calves is caused by a virus belonging to the Reoviridae family, as a non-envelope RNA virus. Rotavirus is thought to be the most common cause of neonatal diarrhea in calves. The virus tends to affect calves between the age of 1-day-old up to a month, with most cases presenting within the first week of life. Shedding and reinfection can happen in older calves and cows. Clinical symptoms are rarely present after the first month of life; older animals tend to either be carriers or asymptomatic. The majority of herds have some level present, with transmission likely happening during or shortly after birth. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Pale Yellow, Bloody Dehydrated Dull calves Reluctant to drink Prevention/Treatment: The ideal scenario is to prevent infection through, sanitary facilities (calving barn), outdoor calf housing, and a good vaccination program. Colostrum will provide much needed antibodies, protecting the calf before their immune system is fully developed to combat the disease. Farmatan fed prior to calving can help reduce the pathogen load of the cow, reducing the likelihood of transmission. Farmatan supplemented in the milk has been shown to decrease the virus' ability to cause infection and clinical disease. The best treatment for calves already presenting clinical disease is to administer oral fluids/electrolytes to rehydrate the calf. Learn more about the positive effect of Farmatan's active ingredient HERE. Salmonella Salmonella infection of cattle is caused by a variety of species within the family. While the disease is uncommon in cattle with little effect on calf health, it has massive implications for human health and food safety. The bacteria spreads through direct contact or contaminated feed & water. This disease is highly regulated by the USDA. The most severe cases of salmonella affect calves between the ages of 7-10 days old. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Bloody (flakes of slough tissue), Watery, Mucus present Lethargic Fever Prevention/Treatment: Prevention is always the best option: provide clean water, feed, and bedding. Isolate infected animals, ensure adequate colostrum intake, and develop a vaccination program with your veterinarian. Treatment with antibiotics and fluids (oral or intravenous) greatly increases the survival rate of calves infected with Salmonella. Farmatan has been shown to help reduce the likelihood of infection by protecting the gut, and reduce recovery time of infected animals.  LEARN MORE ABOUT IMOGENE INGREDIENTS  PRODUCTS Paul Mitchell & Paul Martin on RFD TV Rural America Live!  WATCH: https://vimeo.com/759549430/bd063fcc1f Beef Industry News Possible Slow Beef Trend in 2026 According To Rabobank Beef production by major global producers is expected to remain sluggish next year, according to analysts at the Dutch financial services cooperative Rabobank. The recent contraction in beef production is expected to affect major producers in Brazil, Canada and the United States, with New Zealand being likely to see the sharpest percentage drop in beef production, the Rabobank report predicted. Several issues are contributing to the 2025 decline and the expected drop next year, especially in light of limited cattle herds ready for slaughter in both the United States and Brazil, the report added. The long-term contraction of available cattle is being blamed for significant price hikes for retail beef in the last few years, Rabobank noted. Canada is experiencing a tighter pattern that has resulted in a decline of 41,000 metric tons of beef available for export in 2025 versus levels in 2024, according to the report. Canadian beef output in 2026 is expected to be “more limited” compared with this year for reasons also being experienced south of the Canadian border in terms of the available cattle herd.

The USDA has launched a dedicated website with up-to-date information on the spread of the screwworm, which so far has been confined to cattle in several Mexican states near the U.S. border. The site includes resources for livestock producers, veterinarians, animal-health officials, wildlife experts, healthcare providers, pet owners, researchers, drug manufacturers, and the general public. Reports of the pest in Mexican cattle prompted the U.S. to halt cattle imports from Mexico back in May. USDA also committed $21 million to boost sterile fly production in Mexico as part of its response. The new website pulls together information from multiple federal partners, including the FDA, the Department of Energy, Homeland Security, the EPA, and the State Department.  Reference: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poultry-disease/stop-screwworm Nightshade In Corn Residue Could Be Toxic Have you noticed any black nightshade in your corn stalks that you are grazing or plan to graze? If these fields have too much black nightshade, be careful — it might be toxic. Black nightshade is common in many corn fields in the fall, especially those that had hail damage in the summer or any situation where the corn canopy became thin or open. It usually isn't a problem, but if the density of nightshade is very high, there is the potential that it could poison livestock. Almost all livestock, including cattle, sheep, swine, horses and poultry are susceptible.   Black nightshade plants average about two feet in height and have simple alternating leaves. In the fall, berries are green and become black as the plant matures. All plant parts contain some of the toxin and the concentration increases as plants mature, except in the berries. Freezing temperatures will not reduce the toxicity. It is very difficult to determine exactly how much black nightshade is risky. Guidelines say that a cow would need to consume three to four pounds of fresh black nightshade to be at risk of being poisoned. These guidelines, though, are considered conservative since there is little data on the actual toxicity of nightshade plants. Fortunately, even though nightshade plants remain green fairly late into the fall, cattle usually don't appear to seek out nightshade plants to graze. However, green plants of nightshade might become tempting toward the end of a field's grazing period when there is less grain, husks or leaves to consume.  References: https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/nightshade-in-corn-residue-grazing-could-be-toxic Featured Experts in the Cattle Industry Paul Mitchell – Imogene Ingredients https://www.imogeneingredients.com/ Follow on Facebook: @FarmatanUSA Kirk Donsbach – Financial Analyst at StoneX https://www.stonex.com/ Follow on Facebook: @StoneXGroupInc Shaye Wanner – Host of Casual Cattle Conversation https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/ Follow on Facebook: @cattleconvos Contact Us with Questions or Concerns Have questions or feedback?

Rabobank's GM for RaboResearch says the global agricultural landscape has entered a new phase where geopolitics – not only traditional supply and demand market forces – will dictate agricultural trade flows, prices, and production decisions, according to the bank's Agri Commodity Outlook 2026. The report describes a world increasingly divided between two spheres of influence – the United States and China – where agricultural commodity exports have become “pawns on a geopolitical chessboard.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How does one small fish in one corner of the Pacific end up shaping the entire global aquaculture feed system? In this week's episode, we break down the latest developments from Peru's anchovy fishery, from the unusually low provisional quota, to the rapid EUREKA survey that reshaped the biomass picture, to why analysts like Rabobank are warning that long-term fishmeal and fish oil shortages are becoming more likely. We revisit what happened during the 2023 juvenile-driven closure, unpack what the 2025 numbers actually tell us, and explain why Peru's anchoveta remains the single most important swing factor for salmon, shrimp, and even pet food production worldwide. For more aquaculture insights head to our Fish n' Bits blog.

Geopolitics could be increasingly dictating the future of agriculture. A Rabobank report is warning tensions between the United States and China means agricultural exports are at risk of "becoming pawns on a geopolitical chessboard." It suggests 2026 could mark a new era of geopolitical influenced agriculture sector. Lincoln University Adjunct Professor of AgriScience Jacqueline Rowarth told Mike Hosking the more unstable the planet is, the more unstable business is. But she says New Zealand is in a good position as a small nation who are the best producers of low impact, high quality animal protein.

Season 5: Episode 215In this episode of North American Ag Spotlight, Chrissy Wozniak sits down with Xinnan Li, VP and Senior Packaging Analyst at Rabobank, to discuss how customer trends and evolving food preferences are reshaping agricultural markets. Xinnan shares her journey from studying biology and food science to analyzing packaging, logistics, and consumer-driven change for one of the world's largest agri-focused banks.The conversation explores how shifting demographics, particularly the influence of Gen Z and millennials, are driving demand for local and organic foods—yet also how tightened disposable income is limiting higher-priced categories. Xinnan highlights the long-term rise of convenience, the impact of weight loss medications on portion sizes, and how packaging has become a powerful tool for both branding and efficiency.They also dive into the rise of the MAHA movement and what it signals for future consumer behavior, the risks producers face when markets overcorrect, and the ways demographic changes and global diversity will continue to shape food demand. Xinnan emphasizes the importance of transparency, storytelling, and aligning operations with consumer expectations.Looking ahead, she previews her upcoming presentation at the Women in Agribusiness Summit in Orlando this September, where she'll provide a data-driven look at these same themes—demographics, disposable income, trade, and consumer bifurcation—and what they mean for the future of agriculture.Learn more about Rabobank at https://rabobank.comLearn more about Women in Agribusiness at https://www.womeninag.com/#farm #farming #agricultureNorth American Ag is devoted to highlighting the people & companies in agriculture who impact our industry and help feed the world.
