HighQuest Consulting

Our consultants apply efficient solutions to challenges across the food and agriculture value chains. 

The global food and agricultural sector has a complex market structure which is subject to value drivers and risks which are not immediately apparent. Understanding how margins are generated at different points along the value chain requires industry expertise. HighQuest’s strategic advisory team leverages their collective industry experience to ensure that operational and financial clients make informed decisions regarding opportunities and challenges. We accommodate both the upstream (inputs and farming) and midstream (transportation, logistics, processing and value-added transformation of crops and animal protein) sectors of the industry. In addition, we have advised investors and asset managers on best-of-class approaches to allocating and attracting capital for this emerging asset class.

To find out how our team can assist you to address your opportunities and challenges, we encourage you to speak with one of our advisors.
