12-28 IAN Rabobank

 Rabobank is a financial partner for thousands of individuals, businesses, farmers and ranchers, food and agribusiness companies and other select institutions across the Americas.  Rabobank says they are the bank of choice in many communities, meeting the financial needs of local families, businesses and organizations with great banking products and personalized service by friendly, knowledgeable bankers.

They claim that they are the premier bank to the food and agriculture industry, helping finance the growth and success of farmers, ranchers and agribusiness companies throughout the United States, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico.

Given that agriculture is their business mainstream, I asked Sterling Liddell, Vice President of Food & Agribusiness Research and Advisory to describe their operation overall: “RaboBank is the largest agricultural finance bank globally. We have a far reaching research effort with researchers in almost all of the major markets around the globe. Our research is generally a collaborative effort between researchers in the U.S. as well as China, India, Europe and the Black Seas area. It’s a global effort and we can put together information from the on the ground perspective and provide that to our clients and bank associates.”
