In agriculture, agribusiness is a generic term that refers to the various businesses involved in food production, including farming and contract farming, seed supply, agrichemicals, farm machinery, wholesale and distribution, processing, marketing, and retail sales. The term has two distinctly different connotations depending on context. Within the agriculture industry, agribusiness is widely used simply as a convenient portmanteau of agriculture and business, referring to the range of activities and disciplines encompassed by modern food production. There are academic degrees in and departments of agribusiness, agribusiness trade associations, agribusiness publications, and so forth, worldwide. Here, the term is only descriptive, and is synonymous in the broadest sense with food industry. Among critics of large-scale, industrialized, vertically integrated food production, the term agribusiness is used as a negative, synonymous with corporate farming. As such, it is often contrasted with family farm. Some negative connotation is also derived from the negative associations of "business" and "corporation" from critics of capitalism or corporate excess. As concern over global warming intensifies, biofuels derived from food crops quickly emerged as a practical answer to the energy crisis. Adding corn ethanol to gasoline or using palm oil for biodiesel makes the fuel burn more cleanly, stretches oil supplies, and perhaps most attractive to some politicians, provides a nice boost to big agribusiness. In Europe and in the US, increasing biofuels was mandated by law.[1] An example of an agribusiness was the Old North State Winegrowers Cooperative in North Carolina. Wine grape farmers came together to not only sell their grapes but to share a winery, winemaker and marketing brand together. The cooperative failed in 2006, three years after opening its winery.

4. Agriculture Business - a good investing option
January 22, 2009
Agricultural businesses are diverse and cover much more than a large farm or ranch. A person looking to start a business or buy an existing business in this area will need financing as well as particular knowledge. The accessibility of land to start a new agricultural business is a limiting factor these days as there just is not that much land still not being refined. This means that a new owner will usually have to find an agricultural business that is for sale. There are always family businesses for sale, but they do not become available at low prices these days.
The land is valuable a... (read more)

From:http://www.china-food-wholesaler.com/buy-sweet_spots/ Tag:sweet spots,Australian farm exports,rising affluence A number of opportunities exist for Australian farm exports to China but the prime focus in most cases should be on 'sweet spots' in niche areas, rather than on the mass market, according to a visiting authority on Chinese food and agribusiness.
