Agriculture
For assets in the agriculture space, performance is shaped as much by market access and buyer dynamics as by climate or yield. From crops and specialty product to controlled-environment agriculture and ag-inputs, commercial due diligence in agriculture needs to consider commodity risk (ideally a weighted consideration of the commodity exposure and level of volatility), contract stability, and evolving end-markets. With local producers making buying choices while serving regional or even global consumer markets, the ability to think and research globally is key: Voice of customer 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 for the products and services that support agriculture. Matters Graph has experience supporting CDD for agriculture and agribusiness companies in aquaculture, farming (including innovations like vertical farming), sustainable agriculture, agriculture infrastructure (software and hardware), supply chain management, food production automation, protein processing (products and services like rendering), among many others.
