The Verbank Agriculture teams span from the US and Brazil to Argentina. The US team leads the financial planning, legal, accounting and tax aspects of the investment, as well as the selection of the geography (country and sub region), the investable crop and hedges and the teams of people to work on each project. The teams in Brazil and Argentina lead the operational aspects of each specific engagement, helping to prepare the land, staff each project with the appropriate personnel and procure all the raw materials for each agricultural cycle. Local teams also work actively in the sale of the products either on the spot or in local futures markets.
