Rabobank, the leading bank to the global food and agriculture industry has been named the ‘premier’ food and agribusiness bank in the United States out of 120 top US firms.

The survey, which was conducted by Windham Partners LLC, an independent US market research firm, comprised companies operating across the US agribusiness industry.

More than two thirds of respondents picked Rabobank - and the bank received five times as many votes as its nearest competitor.

The agribank received recognition for its comprehensive knowledge of the food and agribusiness industry and its execution of financial transactions for its clients.

Rabobank has an 80-person team that conduct and publish research on developments, issues and trends in every major agricultural sector worldwide.

The bank will highlight its ‘premier’ status in a new print advertising campaign out this month in North American food and agribusiness publications.
