agri benchmark provides unique farm-level, data-based analysis of strategic issues for decision-makers in policy, agriculture and agribusiness. We are a global, non-profit network of agricultural economists, advisors, producers and specialists in key sectors of agricultural and horticultural value chains. Our core competence is farm-level economic analysis and benchmarking. As of today, we operate six branches: Beef and Sheep, Cash Crops, Horticulture, Organic, Pig and Fish. Founded in 2006 as a cooperation between the Thünen Institute of Farm Economics and the German Agricultural Society (DLG), the agri benchmark headquarters are located in Braunschweig, Germany at the Thünen Institute. agri benchmark partners work in more than 40 countries around the world. The network is led by a team that consists of more than 10 international and German economists. Once a year the individual branches host an international conference with the global network of partners. agri benchmark uses internationally consistent methods to analyse farms, production systems and their profitability. This farm-level knowledge is combined with expertise in international commodity markets and value chains. For agricultural economists – including students – there are several options to become part of this challenging and inspiring network: • Apply for a position as project manager and researcher. • Apply for a PhD scholarship. • Write your Master thesis on topics relevant to agri benchmark. We explicitly welcome international applications; knowledge of German is not a prerequisite since the official network language is English. Please visit our website for detailed information.
