California dreams soar highest

RABOBANK have been talking about the opportunities offered by demand for dairy products growing by double digits in recent years in countries like China, Vietnam and Brazil — and still growing.

Obviously, the Dutch-based cooperative multinational financial services provider is interested in financing the dairy industry, an ideal fit for them because of their international standing as a food and agribusiness bank.

Rabobank has been triple-A rated since 1981, and are a very welcome presence in Ireland in the form of Rabobank Ireland, who have recently increased their involvement in food and agri-banking here by deciding to get involved as a sponsor of Bord Bia’s Food and Drink Industry Awards.
