Rabobank
Rabobank was founded in 1898 on the philosophy that the cooperative set-up of farmers working together was best for all. Agriculture and food were and always will be at the heart of our strategy. We are not just a bank that finances agriculture and agribusiness, but rather a bank that promotes and helps enable connections and cooperation within agricultural and food value chains. Collaboration is our history, and our vision. Today, more than ever, we need collaboration to meet the global food challenge. To make our contribution to feeding the world more sustainably concrete, we provide access to funding, knowledge and networks.
Access to finance
We firmly believe that value chains in agriculture and food are crucial to securing food supplies in the future. For decades, we have been there for our clients in these value chains. And we will continue to do so, providing access to finance and financial services to improve and develop their businesses. This will enable them to play their part in meeting the food challenge in a sustainable way.
Access to knowledge
Over the past 115 years, we have built up a world of knowledge in and about the food chain. We are constantly expanding this knowledge through our contacts with our clients and interest groups, our own specialised agriculture and food research departments, our specialised bankers and our partnerships with knowledge institutions worldwide. We share knowledge with our clients and other stakeholders to further develop their businesses and agricultural and food value chains.
Access to networks
As a cooperative, we are convinced of the power of cooperation, of the power of networks. We bring partners in value chains together and we make our networks available where and when needed to accelerate developments.
