About DCA Market Intelligence

Navigating growth and innovation in agricultural markets

DCA Market Intelligence is a leading independent organization specializing in data and information for agricultural commodity markets, catering to the Dutch and international food & agribusiness sectors. Our primary focus includes grains, potatoes, onions, dairy, livestock, and meat. As a Price Reporting Agency (PRA), we compile more than 75 benchmark prices for producers, traders, brokers, processors, and other stakeholders in areas such as dairy, pigs, potatoes, onions, carrots, and manure every week. Our team of market analysts interprets these developments through clear market analyses, providing a unique proposition for our clients and subscribers.

Through our price data, market information in our extensive database, and market analyses, we aim to enhance market transparency in the food chain. This empowers our clients and subscribers with deeper and broader insights into market trends, enabling them to gain a strategic advantage in volatile and often unclear markets. Consequently, they can make better-informed business decisions regarding buying and selling transactions.

As a team, we present our prices, data, and market information on three platforms: dcamarketintelligence.com, boerenbusiness.nl, and foodbusiness.nl. This target audience approach allows us to tailor data and information to the diverse needs of market participants.

DCA Market Intelligence, formerly known as DCA-Markets, is part of the DCA Groep, a privately-owned company, and brings over 20 years of experience in translating developments in agricultural commodity markets into unique market data and market information.
