About Us

World Perspectives, Inc. is a Washington, DC-based agricultural consulting firm providing daily and monthly analytical reports on markets and policy, plus a wide range of specialized services including market, policy and investment analyses, program audit and evaluation work, as well as other custom or proprietary services. 

However, the best way to learn about a company is to look at what its customers have to say about it.

In our view

Gertrude Stein complained back in 1946 that, "Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense." Imagine how she would describe our level of sanity today!  That is why the most important client comments about what we deliver everyday to the global food and agriculture sector are: high quality, balanced/credible, and insightful.

One customer described us as wise, prompting a retort from our most senior analyst, Bob Kohlmeyer, that calling us wise is just a polite way of saying we are old.  The rest of us prefer to interpret it as meaning we are very experienced.  The company was formed in 1980 and you can see from the bios listed under the staff and contributor tabs that collectively we benefit from several decades of experience in Fortune 500 agribusinesses, agricultural trade associations and high level government policy making positions.

Facts and Figures

We have published over 10,000 daily reports and more than 300 monthly reports that drill down deeper into the topics we love.  And while our most frequent focus is on the major traded products -- grains, oilseeds and livestock products, our consulting work has included everything from almonds to wine and has involved work in nearly 60 countries around the globe.

ROI

So what do our customers get from accessing all of this wisdom?  Insightfulness, well-founded opinion, direction, mistake avoidance -- basically the things that enable improved business planning and ultimately enhanced profitability.  We build business confidence.  It is the only explanation for why the firm's customers have continued to support our work for over 30 years.
