What Celeres does

Celeres is a privately-held Brazilian agribusiness consulting firm founded in 2002 in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, by Anderson Galvão. The firm serves the full agribusiness value chain — input manufacturers (seeds, crop protection, fertilizers, bio-inputs), distributors, traders/originators, processors, biofuel producers, cooperatives, associations, and investment funds — through four integrated service lines: Strategic Consulting (customized ad hoc studies covering competitive analysis, opportunity mapping, strategic planning, and regulatory environment), Sector Studies (the MultiClientes data platform plus dedicated research products like PLP long-term projections, Agro Conjuntura, Agro Sementes, Agro Insumos, Agro Bioinsumos, Agro Acesso, Agro Biocombustíveis, and Agro Logística), M&A Advisory (buy-side, sell-side, due diligence, and financial modeling), and Market Presentations.

Its core technology is an econometric modeling platform that underpins MultiClientes, combining 10+ years of proprietary historical data with 10-year forward projections and supplementing quantitative models with in-depth field interviews of market participants. The firm employs a multidisciplinary team of agronomists, economists, biotechnologists, geoprocessing specialists, and M&A analysts, supported by data-scraping automation and QGIS-based georeferenced analytics.

Revenue is generated through a mix of customized professional-services engagements (ad hoc studies, M&A mandates, event presentations) and recurring MultiClientes sector-study subscriptions, sold via direct enterprise field sales under quote-based pricing. Celeres counts a blue-chip roster of multinational and Brazilian clients, including BASF, Bayer, Corteva, FMC, UPL, Nutrien, Mosaic, COFCO, Amaggi, McDonald's, and Lavoro. The firm remains founder-controlled, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or ownership transitions.

Broad incumbents

• S&P Global Commodity Insights (formerly IHS Markit): Global commodity research powerhouse offering price assessments, forecasts, and analytics across agribusiness. Comparable to Celeres at the high end of the market, with vastly greater resources and global scope; serves many of the same multinational input and trading clients.
• StoneX (Brasil): Global financial services firm with a strong Brazilian agribusiness brokerage and research operation. Comparable to Celeres in serving Brazilian agribusiness clients with market intelligence and advisory, but with much broader commodity trading and financing capabilities.
• Itaú BBA (Agribusiness): Leading Brazilian investment bank with a dedicated agribusiness franchise offering research, M&A, and capital markets advisory. Comparable to Celeres in targeting agribusiness clients with strategic advisory and M&A, but with significantly larger scale and balance sheet.

Direct peers

• Hedgepoint Global Markets: Brazil-anchored commodity intelligence and risk management firm offering market analysis, pricing, and advisory to agribusiness clients. Direct peer in providing subscription-style market intelligence and strategic advisory to Brazilian traders, processors, and input companies.
• Safras & Mercado: Brazilian agribusiness consultancy and news provider offering market analysis, grain price forecasts, and crop projections. Direct competitor to Celeres' PLP and sector studies products, serving a similar base of traders, processors, and input companies in Brazil.
• Scot Consultoria: Brazilian agribusiness consulting firm providing market intelligence, sector studies, and advisory across livestock, grains, and inputs. Comparable to Celeres as a long-established, Brazil-focused agribusiness consultancy with both subscription and bespoke offerings.
• MB Agro: Brazilian agribusiness consultancy providing market analysis, sector studies, and customized advisory across grains, inputs, and logistics. Direct competitor to Celeres in Brazilian agribusiness consulting with a similar mix of subscription and ad hoc work.
• Rabobank (Food & Agribusiness Research): Rabobank's Food & Agribusiness Research group produces in-depth market intelligence, sector outlooks, and advisory for the global agribusiness value chain. Highly comparable to Celeres in target audience (input companies, traders, processors) and product mix (long-term projections, sector studies), but operating globally rather than Brazil-focused.
• Agroconsult: Brazilian agribusiness consulting firm offering customized studies, market projections, and crop tours (Rally da Safra). Comparable in business model and target market to Celeres, with particular strength in field-based research across grains.

Emerging players

• CEPEA (ESALQ-USP): Academic research center at University of São Paulo providing agribusiness prices, indices, and market analysis. Comparable as a producer of Brazilian agribusiness market intelligence, though academic in origin and partially publicly funded.
