Agriculture market research.
Building a rich understanding of your customers to inform your future strategy
Cindi Collett
Agriculture Market Research Lead
We help agricultural businesses get closer to their customers so that they can design products and communications that meet their needs.
We have a wealth of expertise in agriculture market research having conducted research with farmers and growers across Europe, the US and Asia. Thanks to our deep sector understanding, we understand how to design studies to secure the participation of these groups and are able to build the rapport needed to uncover rich insights. What’s more, we’re able to reach other audiences in the sector beyond end customers, including dietitians and industry experts, to provide a valuable input to product development.
In our many years’ working in the sector, we’ve helped organizations with a range of challenges. We’ve brought a brand closer to its target audience of cut flower growers. We’ve explored the drivers and barriers to tractor purchases. And we’ve tested a range of agricultural products from farmers’ tools to crop protection products.

Before checking out, she sends […]
