Dairy Women’s Network partners with agribusiness banking specialists Rabobank

Dairy Women’s Network (DWN) is excited to announce a new partnership with Rabobank, New Zealand’s only specialist food and agribusiness bank.

Established over 125 years ago as a cooperative in the Netherlands, Rabobank has a strong commitment to farmers globally. In Aotearoa New Zealand, their single focus on food and agribusiness has enabled a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by rural women as well as the huge contribution they make to New Zealand’s dairy sector.

Jules Benton, CEO of Dairy Women’s Network, sees this partnership as a commitment to advancing the dairy sector. "Partnering with Rabobank significantly enhances our ability to provide valuable resources and opportunities to our members.”

“Both DWN and Rabobank are deeply committed to the success and sustainability of New Zealand's dairy industry. DWN focuses on empowering people in dairy, providing education, and fostering community, which directly supports Rabobank's mission of advancing agricultural knowledge and rural prosperity,” Benton says.

This partnership will bring together DWN’s extensive network of members and Rabobank’s food and agri banking experience, providing members with enhanced access to financial knowledge and industry insights, backed by Rabobank’s global team of research analysts.
