Grain & Specialty Crop Insights
Global grain markets are experiencing heightened volatility due to climate variability and shifting trade policies. However, demand for specialty grains—like organic rice, gluten-free maize, and quinoa—is surging. These segments often command premiums of 20–35% above commodity-grade counterparts. In Venezuela, fertile plains and favorable growing seasons position local producers to capitalize on this trend. Our analysts monitor futures markets, logistics costs, and consumer trends—such as rising interest in plant-based diets and clean-label products—to advise on crop diversification strategies. We work with portfolio companies to implement advanced drying, sorting, and packaging technologies that meet stringent import regulations and retailer specifications, enabling them to deliver consistent, high-quality products that outshine competitors.
