Market Monitoring and Intelligence Services
To help its clients know what is really happening in a foreign market, Promar:
Searches, interviews, and reports on new, and usually previously unreported, developments which can influence a product, its market, and its pricing
Tracks key commodity crops worldwide – their production, problems, demand pricing
Regularly checks sales volumes, presentation, pricing, and competitors’ activities in retail surveys
Recently Promar has:
Provided ongoing weekly and monthly reports on what is really happening in the Chinese soybean and related feed grain demand, production, and imports for one of the largest grain and soybean producers in the world.
Analyzed monthly grain and oilseed planting, production, demand, and harvesting developments in the world’s top six producing countries.
Created and regularly monitors a panel of 31 retailers for one of Japan’s major suppliers of seafood, tracking the volumes handled, the prices, and the promotion strategies of the client and its competitors.
Rising global demand and limited arable land mean it’s more critical than ever to maximize your yields and streamline your operating model. We specialize in helping you achieve a self-reinforcing cycle of discipline that merges operational excellence, capital productivity, commercial excellence, technology and data, and organizational capabilities.
We understand that you’re working in a complex business, where competition for alternative fuel sources is fierce. Governmental regulations can change and contradict each other, often threatening to suppress yield and disrupt trade. But you don’t have to navigate these issues alone.
Feeding the world population in the decades to come will require agriculture companies to operate with vision, discipline, and adaptability. We can help you meet every challenge—even those that remain unforeseen.
Tackling climate change
The common agricultural policy sets out to increase the resilience of agriculture and forestry against climate change and support actions that contribute to EU climate objectives.
Agriculture and forestry are highly exposed to the impact of rising global temperatures: increased fluctuations in seasonality disrupt farming cycles, while substantial challenges arise from changing rainfall patterns and extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, storms, and floods.
The common agricultural policy sets out to ensure that farmers can adapt to climate uncertainty, reduce emissions, and mitigate climate change.
Tackling climate change
Climate-smart agriculture seeks to increase the resilience of farming systems to the impacts of climate change, such as drought, flooding, and heat stress. This can be achieved through a range of practices, such as diversifying crops, improving water management, and using drought-tolerant seeds.
Mitigation
Climate-smart agriculture aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from farming practices, which contribute to climate change. This can be done through practices such as conservation agriculture, which reduces tillage and promotes the use of cover crops to build soil health, or by using renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power.
Food security
Climate-smart agriculture aims to improve food security and nutrition, particularly for vulnerable populations. This can be achieved through practices such as improving access to markets and information, promoting the use of climate-resilient crops, and reducing post-harvest losses.
The three pillars of climate-smart agriculture are
Here are some benefits of Climate Smart Agriculture
Increased productivity
Climate-smart agriculture practices, such as improved soil management, crop diversification, and the use of climate-resilient crop varieties, can help farmers increase their crop yields and productivity.
Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
Agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, but climate-smart agriculture practices such as conservation agriculture, agroforestry, and the use of renewable energy sources can help reduce emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
Improved soil health
Climate-smart agriculture practices such as minimal tillage, cover cropping, and the use of organic fertilizers can improve soil health and fertility, which can lead to increased crop yields and better long-term productivity.
Increased resilience
Climate-smart agriculture practices can help farmers build resilience to environmental and economic shocks, such as droughts, floods, and volatile commodity prices.
Enhanced food security
Climate-smart agriculture practices can help farmers produce more food, increase their incomes, and improve their access to markets, which can enhance food security for communities and countries.
