Our Services

Juster AgriConsult (JAC) provides independent brokerage and advisory across modern food supply chains, supporting CEA producers and buyers to build partnerships that are commercially viable, operationally realistic and built to last.

BROKERAGE SERVICES

Institutional, B2B & B2C Market Access

JAC acts as a specialist intermediary between high-quality CEA growers and institutional buyers.
Through pre-vetting, aggregation and single-point accountability, we reduce procurement and operational risk while enabling access to consistent, sustainable supply aligned with NHS standards and contractor requirements.

Includes:

  • Curated introductions to institutional, B2B and B2C buyers
  • Buyer qualification prior to introductions
  • Alignment of CEA production capability with buyer demand
  • Independent intermediary support during early-stage engagement

Education, Engagement & Social Value Delivery

Alongside advisory and brokerage, JAC supports NHS organisations and catering partners with education and engagement around food as medicine, controlled-environment agriculture and sustainable supply chains.

Delivered via workshops, panels and targeted sessions, this work supports Social Value Act delivery, staff and stakeholder engagement, and behaviour change linked to patient outcomes, Net Zero objectives and long-term procurement success.

This service is offered on a day-rate basis and can be delivered as a standalone engagement or alongside pilots and advisory programmes

PRICING FOR CEA PRODUCERS

Engagements with CEA producers are typically structured around advisory support, brokerage activity, or a combination of both.

Pricing may include:
  • Fixed project fees for defined advisory scopes (e.g. market readiness, route-to-market strategy)
  • Retainer-based arrangements for ongoing commercial or strategic support
  • Success-based or commission structures linked to introductions and supply agreements, where appropriate
  • Fees are aligned to the maturity of the business, the complexity of the market being accessed and the level of ongoing involvement required.
PRICING FOR BUYERS (B2B & B2C)

Engagements with buyers focus on sourcing strategy, supplier engagement and partnership development.

Pricing may include:
  • Fixed project fees for defined sourcing or advisory work
  • Retainer-based support for ongoing supplier engagement or programme development
  • Brokerage or facilitation fees linked to introductions, pilots or phased partnerships, where appropriate

Pricing reflects the scope of sourcing activity, internal resourcing, risk considerations and the duration of engagement.
