Introduction

YEALD is the leading corporate boutique in the Agri Food and Horticultural industry. YEALD covers all parts of these industries. From inputs & greenhouse suppliers up to trade supplying retail channels. Our focus is global and our clients are international, many of whom we serve long term. Our activities are focused on Strategy, M&A, Financing and Real Estate.

For us M&A is not only the A of acquisitions (buy & sell sides) but also the M of mergers, where we support our clients in true mergers often driven by the need for increasing scale. Our extensive experience is such that we support our clients not only in the process but also on the softer aspects that truly make a merger or acquisition a success.

It is our goal to unleash the full potential of our clients. All we do is oriented towards delivering this for our clients. We believe our down to earth culture contributes to this.

Horticulture is developing fast globally, driven by numerous macro trends like sustainability, growing population and efficiently produced safe, healthy & local food. These trends have been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Horticulture can deliver a huge contribution to realize these trends and will drive fast growth of the industry in the next decade. In this, the Netherlands is uniquely positioned to be the future leader in the horticultural industry and is home to many of the leading technology companies in the world. Also the Dutch greenhouse growers are leading in supplying the European flower retail.

Similar trends can be seen in the wider agri-food industry. Given our experience, network and team, we increasingly support clients that operate in the wider agri-food space.

These trends and globalization drive sector consolidation and increasing interest of external financiers and private equity to the industry. This has resulted in strong growth in projects at our clients. As we expect this to continue and further accelerate, we are looking to expand our M&A and Strategy team.
