Is there a global food crisis coming?

Since the war in Iran began, fertilizer prices have been climbing steadily. US Gulf urea prices alone are up around 40% since the start of the conflict and nearly 80% year‑to‑date, putting intense pressure on farm economics. In several regions, farmer margins are now razor‑thin – or outright negative – raising the risk of reduced fertilizer use and significant cuts in planted wheat area ahead of the upcoming Southern Hemisphere wheat planting season. Join Carlos Mera and Sam Taylor as they discuss how the conflict in the Middle East and the effective double blockade of the Strait of Hormuz are reshaping fertilizer markets and key crops – and what that could mean for global agricultural production and food prices.

Another exciting month in food! Steve Rannekleiv (of Liquid Assets fame), Maria Castroviejo, and Cyrille Filott discuss the hottest topics in food – and this time, beverages as well. They begin by exploring the latest developments shaping the industry, including geopolitics (once again) and the growing momentum behind dietary fiber as a consumer trend. They then dive into several recent RaboResearch reports, with one about the evolving landscape of alcohol distribution standing out in particular. To close, they reflect on the rapid rise of AI and debate whether artificial intelligence could become the next major influencer of consumer choices.

Join Oran van Dort and Carlos Mera as they discuss these and many other topics affecting much of the world's favorite beverage. This episode was recorded on June 12, 2026.

Consumer Foods-to-Go Wrap! Reviewing April in food

April served up big signals for the food industry, and we're breaking them down. In this episode, we unpack the month's headlines through three lenses: geopolitics and what it could mean for supply and trade, fresh Q1 foodservice insights and why 2026 looks more like a year of sorting than a straight recovery, and the accelerating cost-cutting wave across major food and retail players (and why it's not AI-driven... yet). Plus, in our "Specials," we clarify the note about "another ceasefire," pressure-test the latest inflation takeaways, and share an outlook on fertilizers. Finally, we tackle questions on cybersecurity.

Are diesel prices squeezing Brazil's farm margins – and what does that mean for sugar prices?

Rabobank's Head of Research for South America, Andy Duff, discusses the impact of rising diesel prices on sugar, grain, and soybean production. As Brazil relies heavily on long‑distance truck transport to move agricultural products inland, logistics costs can negatively impact Brazilian farm margins. Sugar prices have been on a roller-coaster ride in recent weeks, and Andy explains why the high probability of an El Niño event is a key price driver to watch.

Coffee prices: Short term and long term diverge

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.

Cocoa conversations: Cocoa strikes back

After a relatively subdued period between March and April, volatility has returned to the cocoa market in force. Cocoa prices, still down 23.5% year-to-date, have rallied 31% since the beginning of May as bullish fundamentals reemerge. Key drivers include the transition toward an active El Niño event, easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and a slow start to the development of West Africa's 2026/27 main crop. Join Carlos Mera and Oran van Dort as they discuss the delectable but turbulent world of cocoa.
