Agribusiness is a generic term that refers to the various businesses involved in food production, including farming, seed supply, agrichemicals, farm machinery, wholesale, distribution, processing, marketing, and retail sales. The agribusiness sector consists of organisations which:
- Supply raw materials to agriculture
- Supply capital goods to agriculture
- Procure agriculture produce for selling
- Procure agricultural produce for processing
- Provide services to agriculture
|
|
|
Because of the above mentioned, there are huge opportunities in the area of agribusiness as there are:
1. Optimism in the agricultural as a safe long term investment as food, fuel and fibre are staples.
2. Opportunities created by the current food crisis
