The Challenge

Agri-food and retail companies are operating in a more volatile supply environment. Climate variability, water stress, soil degradation and biodiversity loss are making agricultural production less predictable, while geopolitical disruption and inflation are increasing pressure on already fragile supply chains. Traceability is a particular challenge, especially beyond direct suppliers.

€28billion The European agriculture sector loses more than €28 billion a year as a result of adverse weather, including droughts.

€1.6billion JDE Peet’s reported €1.6 billion in cost inflation in 2025, principally due to unprecedented increases in green coffee prices.

460bps The Hershey Company reported 460 basis point decline in its gross margin in Q3 1014, largely due to higher commodity costs.

How Natcap Helps

Natcap helps agri-food and retail companies identify, quantify and prioritise materially relevant environmental risk across their direct operations and upstream supply chains.

We combine location-specific environmental intelligence with business context to show where and how priority commodities, sourcing regions, suppliers and product lines are most exposed to disruption. This enables companies to move beyond high-level sustainability screening and focus on the risks most likely to affect cost, availability and long-term commercial performance. This enables agri-food and retail companies to:

Identify Sourcing Hotspots

Identify sourcing hotspots across commodities, regions and supplier networks.

Prioritise Risks Prioritise the locations, ingredients and sourcing decisions that matter most to business resilience.

Protect Price, Quality and Availability Protect price, quality and availability across priority commodities and product categories.

Reduce Exposure Reduce exposure to supply shocks, emergency sourcing premiums and margin erosion.

Improve Continuity Improve continuity for private-label and branded product lines.

Build Stronger Business Cases Build stronger business cases for targeted resilience interventions and supplier engagement.

Align Internal Teams Align sourcing, procurement, sustainability and commercial teams around clear, decision-useful priorities.
