Agriculture and food

Food producers, cooperatives and agribusiness groups retain Tacitude for strategy, sourcing, sustainability, risk and export projects, opened by leadership, procurement, sustainability and sales teams.

Weather, water and input prices move harvests and costs from one season to the next, and large retail buyers press on margins. Buyers and consumers ask for traceability and lower emissions across the chain, from the farm to the shelf.

Projects companies bring us

  1. Should we move into processing and our own brands, or stay a supplier of fresh produce?

    The margin at each stage of the chain, the capital each step needs and how our retail customers would respond.

    EngagementCorporate strategy

  2. How should we source from growers: long-term contracts, spot purchases or our own farms?

    Price volatility by crop, quality and security of supply, and the capital tied up in land.

    EngagementSupply chain and procurement

  3. Which emissions in our supply chain should we cut first, and who should pay for the change on the farm?

    Emissions by product and origin, the cost per tonne of each measure and what buyers will pay for lower-carbon products.

    EngagementSustainability and decarbonization

  4. What happens to our margins if two dry seasons cut our main crop by a third?

    Yields and prices under each scenario, our contract terms with buyers and the alternative sources we can secure.

    EngagementRisk and resilience

  5. Should we open an export business in Asia, and with which products?

    Demand and prices in each market, the access conditions for food imports and the logistics cost of reaching them.
