Nan-Dirk doesn't have a crystal ball into exactly what will happen in poultry in 2026, but he has some well-informed predictions, and he shares them in this episode of MeatingPod.

Carlos Mera and Oran van Dort discuss the spike in coffee prices. Despite so many factors affecting the coffee market in the last couple of years, global exports in the 12 months to August remained remarkably stable. A significant drop in Brazilian exports is being offset by increases in a number of countries, from large producers like Vietnam and Colombia to tiny Madagascar. Looking at the 2026/27 crop year, we expect a large global surplus, assuming more or less normal weather ahead, but in the short term, we expect high volatility. Brazil's arabica areas need more rainfall in the second half of October to secure a good production recovery next season, but also, certified stocks are declining, partially as an unintended consequence of US tariffs.   Disclaimer: Please refer to our global RaboResearch disclaimer at https://www.rabobank.com/knowledge/disclaimer/011417272/disclaimer for information about the scope and limitations of the material published on the podcast.

Cattle Industry News Cattlemen's Beef Board Approves $38 Million Budget The Cattlemen's Beef Board (CBB) will invest approximately $38.1 million into programs of beef promotion, research, consumer information, industry information, foreign marketing, and producer communications during fiscal 2026, subject to USDA approval. In action at the end of its September 3-4 meeting in Denver, Colorado, the Beef Promotion Operating Committee (BPOC) approved Checkoff funding for a total of 14 "Authorization Requests" - or grant proposals - for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2025. The committee, which includes 10 producers and importers from the Cattlemen's Beef Board and 10 producers from the Federation of State Beef Councils, also recommended full Cattlemen's Beef Board approval of a budget amendment to reflect the split of funding between budget categories affected by their decisions. REFERENCES: https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/cattlemen-s-beef-board-approves-38-million-budget-lists-priorities-it-will-invest USDA OK's New Tech For Beef Grading USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is moving forward with the use of three new vision grading instruments to support the agency's beef grading program. AMS approved the use of new technologies that produce marbling scores for Prime, Choice and Select grades for beef, according to a statement announcing the tech updates. The three new vision grading instruments also will assist in the application of Yield Grades and measuring of the ribeye area that often is used in scores of Certified Beef Programs. These certifications are issued by a range of organizations and companies, including Certified Angus Beef, National Beef Certified Premium, Tyson's Chairman's Reserve Certified Premium Beef and Nolan Ryan's Tender Aged Beef, for example. The technology allows for consistent, uniform application of USDA beef grades, which drive payments for producers, help value determinations for packers and communicate quality to U.S. consumers.

China was the fourth largest destination for U.S. beef last year but President Donald Trump's tariffs on China starting in February soured trade relations. In March, China revoked export licenses for U.S. producers, leaving the beef industry with only a few eligible exporters. Compared to the first seven months of 2024, exports to China are down 46% and down 47% by value at $481 million. Among the top six destinations for U.S. beef, only South Korea booked a volume increase through July — up 9% by both volume and value. All the others, including Japan, Mexico, Canada and Taiwan, are off so far this year. However, according to a recent Rabo Research Report, global cattle prices continue to rise as global volumes are contracting.  Although, for example, beef imports from Brazil into the U.S. rose 25% compared to last year in the first half of 2025, higher tariffs will have a material impact on the trade between Brazil and the US, analysts assured. In Europe, the tight market is also attracting higher imports. The latest round of U.S. tariffs included an additional 40% on the already existing 10% global rate and 26.4% non-quota duty on Brazilian beef imports. Brazil supplied a record volume of beef into the U.S. in the first half of 2025, and RaboResearch believes this additional tariff will have a material impact on the trade between Brazil and the U.S. Nearly a month after the U.S. began applying further import tariffs on Brazilian beef, shipments remain strong in a year-over-year comparison, and shipments to the U.S. have remained relatively stable even after the tariffs have taken effect.

It seems unthinkable that a simple legal loophole for hemp would lead to the de facto legalization of marijuana edibles in the United States, but here we are. Intoxicating hemp products are everywhere, and everyone seems to be excited about them. But the story of hemp-derived THC's rise and the greatest threat to its future are inexorably linked to its legal status. In this episode, we speak to two legal experts, Marc Hauser and Rebecca Stamey-White, about how the intoxicating hemp business came to life, how long it could last, and how the sector's tenuous legal status is influencing every aspect of the industry, from who invests and founds a hemp business to where it can be sold.  Be sure to check out Marc's fantastic substack “Cannabis Musings”: Click here.   Want to sign up for our written research?

Drinkwaterbesparing Waterkwaliteit en -kwantiteit krijgen steeds meer aandacht in Nederland, mede dankzij de dringende signalen van drinkwaterbedrijven. Dit heeft geleid tot het Nationaal Plan van Aanpak Drinkwaterbesparing, een strategie wat als doel heeft om de drinkwatervoorziening in Nederland klaar te maken voor de toekomst. Er wordt onder andere gestreefd om in 2035 het drinkwatergebruik van de zakelijke gebruikers met 20% te reduceren ten opzichte van referentieperiode 2016-2019 en om het huishoudelijk drinkwater gebruik te reduceren naar gemiddeld 100 liter per dag per hoofd van de bevolking.  In deze podcast gaan we in gesprek over de kansen en mogelijkheden om het waterverbruik in de voedingsmiddelenindustrie te beperken. Onze gasten zijn: Dennis Taanman, Procesmanager bij Geurts Conservenfabriek in Dodewaard Peter Geerdink, onderzoeker Procestechnologie bij Wageningen University & Research Lambert van Horen, Researcher bij RaboResearch en host van deze aflevering Samen verkennen we inspirerende voorbeelden, innovatieve oplossingen en praktische stappen richting een duurzamer watergebruik in de sector.

De Nederlandse arbeidsmarkt is krap, en dat voelen veel bedrijven: ze zeggen niet te kunnen groeien door een gebrek aan personeel. Tegelijkertijd zijn er volop banen voor wie werk zoekt. Maar wat betekent dat voor het bredere welzijn van mensen? Volgens Menno Middeldorp van RaboResearch draait het namelijk niet alleen om het aantal banen, maar ook om baanzekerheid, persoonlijke ontwikkeling, gezondheid en milieu. Brede welvaart is een samenvatting van een aantal dimensies, legt Middeldorp uit. Rabo Research gebruikt daarvoor wat zij de brede welvaartsindicator noemen. Het onderliggende idee is dat welvaart meer omvat dan alleen het bruto binnenlands product (bbp). ‘In totaal zijn er elf dimensies vastgesteld, elk met eigen indicatoren. Die worden samen gewogen tot één zogeheten superindicator voor brede welvaart.’See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
