markets they cater to. These industries are classified on their specialties which are based on
goods and services they provide. While there are companies which belong to only one industry
and provide industry-specific goods or services, there are also conglomerates which cater to

industry by most classification systems.

What Is Agribusiness?

•••
BY JENNIFER CHAIT
Updated October 28, 2019
Agribusiness refers to farming, but the term oddly is not often used in correlation with
actual farms. Instead, agribusiness most commonly means an agriculturally related
business that supplies farm inputs, such as machinery and seed supply.
Agribusiness also is used to describe businesses that are involved in the marketing of
farm products, such as warehouses, wholesalers, processors, retailers, and more. Use
of the term agribusiness by critics of corporate farming has created an aura of negativity
around the term, associating it with large corporations and companies that produce
environmentally questionable, nonorganic products while ensuring that smaller,
potentially sustainable farms fail to turn a profit.
The true definition of agribusiness provides a shorthand way of describing businesses

related to agriculture.
It's possible to major in agribusiness at a variety of different colleges and universities
across the U.S., ranging from Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., to Iowa State
University. Degrees focus on the economics of farm management and the science of
agricultural management.
Examples of Agribusiness Companies
Deere & Company, which makes John Deere equipment, may be one of the best-known
examples of a classic agribusiness company.
Deere & Company doesn't own farms or produce food products, but nearly every farmer
owns a John Deere tractor, baler, or some other piece of the quintessential green and
gold farm equipment.
Monsanto Company, which manufactures the herbicide Roundup (glyphosate) and

various Roundup Ready genetically modified seeds, is another example of an
agribusiness company. Another, Dow AgroSciences LLC (a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Dow Chemical Company), makes pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, in addition
to marketing seeds.
The Archer Daniels Midland Company, or ADM, processes oilseeds like canola and soy,
processes corn into ingredients such as corn syrup, dextrose, and starch, and
transports crops both nationally and internationally.
The term agribusiness generally isn't used to refer to actual farms, although Smithfield
Foods Inc., the largest U.S. producer of pork, owns and runs its farms. Smithfield is
owned by Chinese company WH Group (formerly Shuanghui International), which is the
largest pork producer in the world and the largest meat producer in China.
Agribusiness Vs. Organic Farming
In the United States, you'll normally hear the term agribusiness used in contrast to
organic agricultural businesses. For example, many people when talking about large-
scale commercial agricultural operations will use the term agribusiness, but you won't
hear the term used in relation to small-scale, organic farms.
Small family farms, smaller organic agriculture companies, and organic farmers often
feel they have to compete with giant agribusiness companies when looking to gain a
place in the agricultural marketplace. There's a persistent feeling among family farmers
that they're an endangered species, due to the encroachment of agribusiness and
corporate farms.
Small organic farms often use agribusiness products like John Deere tractors. Also,
small organic farms aren't necessarily competing with larger, corporate-owned farms for
the same market. For example, a customer who prefers to buy pastured pork because
it's humanely produced and has a higher level of beneficial nutrients is unlikely to view
conventionally produced, store-bought pork as an acceptable substitute.
20 Small Business Ideas in the Philippines for

2019
Manny December 15, 2018 261 Comments
Making a living in the Philippines can be hard if you are only looking in one direction, and that is,
employment. With so much unemployed people in this country, and the age factor, its getting harder
and harder to get employed. There are also very few industries in this country and so many new
graduates that are seeking employment and most of them end up on the job they don’t like. Most of
them end up in supermarkets and department stores as shelf stacker and cashiers, some are call
centers agents and fast food crew. If you are an OFW, it’s a fact that working abroad is not
permanent and unless you plan to migrate to that country, like for example, in Canada a promise
land to many Filipinos and where many have already migrated to escape poverty in this country, you
should also be thinking on how to invest your hard earned money through a business.
I’m not saying that creating a business is a sure way to earn a living. There is a blog I read
encouraging people to create a business and be an entrepreneur and not telling the truth about the
hardships and uncertainty on creating a business. What I can say is, it is a gamble and you are not
sure if you will succeed or not. The fact is, 9 out of 10 businesses fail. But on the contrary, if you are
courageous enough, has lots of confidence, passion and optimism to succeed, here are the 20
businesses ideas you can choose:

1) Online affiliate marketing – do you wonder why there are many websites and blogs on the
internet? why are they making personal websites or blogs? do they make them all for passion or
hobby? I admit that many started making website and blog because they do it for passion but some
people dream of making it big someday. If you are a blogger and only using free hosting sites like
Blogger.com or WordPress.com, you might not think of any monetary gain because blogging is free.
But if you are paying for the hosting and have your own domain name registered with a annual fee,
then you might as well think on how to earn money through your blog to pay for the expenses. The
most common method of earning money through websites or blog is affiliate marketing. You promote
other people’s product or services and you will be paid a percentage of the sales made through your
blog or website. The more visitors a blog has, the more chances of earning money. There are also
other ways you can use to gain traffic or visitors without having any websites or blogs. You can use
social networking sites such as facebook to promote any of your products you want to sell or other
people’s products and gain commissions.
2) Online selling business – online selling doesn’t require anyone to be a computer geek in order
to sell online. There are many online classified ads and auction sites that you can use for free. The
most popular are eBay Philippines and olx.ph (before it is sulit.com.ph). You can also create an
online shop for free and multiply.com is the choice of many Filipino online sellers before. But now
multiply.com closed down. There is no need to create an eCommerce site to set up you own online
shop because there are many websites that offer free posting of your items for sale like websites I’ve
mentioned before. But if you are really serious and have the technical know-how of setting up an
eCommerce website, then that is the best. You can also hire web developers if you have that budget
for it. But still, it is necessary for you to know the technical details specially if you are in a bootstrap.
3) Aerial Photography – if you love taking photos, why not level up to a professional level and
invest a DSLR camera? a good training is also required and of course a talent for taking good shots.
There are various ways this business can offer services. On wedding, birthdays, anniversaries and
other unforgettable occasions. You will also need a computer and a photo editing software to
enhance the photos you created. And if you really want to level up to the highest level, why not try
aerial photography? Technology has brought down the technicalities and expenses of aerial
photography. You don’t need to hire a real airplane or helicopter to accomplish the task that requires
hundreds of thousands of pesos just to take an aerial shot. You know how expensive it is to hire a
real aircraft. But as I’ve said, technology has made it possible to bring down the cost. The answer to
that are radio controlled airplanes, helicopters and quadcopters. Cameras are mounted to those R/C
aircraft to take aerial shots. R/C helicopters makes a precise aerial shots than airplanes but the best
R/C aircraft to take aerial photos or videos are quadcopters and multirotor copters. A more advance
type of helicopter with four or more propellers. They are more easy to fly and stable than RC
helicopters so taking aerial photos or videos is much more precise. Sometimes quadcopters are
called drones but quadcopters are not drones if they don’t have a camera attached to it and a
monitor for you to view the scenery. Drones are actually unmanned aerial vehicle. You are piloting
the vehicle remotely as in you are in a cockpit. But before you enter in that profession, you need to
know photography and flying those drones. I recommend buying a small cheaper drone for you to
practice flying and taking aerial shots before buying an expensive professional drone.
4) Rice retailing business – since rice is our staple diet and a necessity, it is hard to think even one
Filipino will not buy rice. Every Filipino eats rice unless you are born and living in Canada or USA,
your staple diet is bread. Or if you live in the remote province where people can’t afford rice and
makes sweet potatoes, corn or cassava as their staple diet. Starting this business does not require a
lot of capital and a minimum of 30k is enough but some rice sellers advise that a capital of 60k is the
minimum to make the business profitable. Aside from getting a business permit, you also need to
secure licences in DTI for single proprietorship or SEC for partnership or corporation and also a
licence from NFA.
5) Pandesal making business – or should I say set up a bakery business but what I have in mind is
selling only pandesal. So why pandesal only? Pandesal is a common bread eaten at breakfast and it
is second to rice which is a staple diet. It can be also eaten as merienda or snacks. You don’t need
to learn baking various bread and cakes on a bakery you will set-up so you can concentrate on one
product. But just be sure your pandesal is quality bread and not selling it just for profit because it is
the taste and quality people are after. I have a neighbor whom I bought pandesal in the morning
every other day and I asked his helper how many pandesal they sold every morning, he said 1,000
to 4,000 pcs.
6) Street food business – Isaw or grilled intestines is the most popular street food among Filipinos.
There are also many kinds of street food business that are popular. Fish ball, kikiam, cheese sticks,
squid balls and chicken balls that you can buy in small packs ready to fry. There are also other street
food business that you have to process your self before grilling on charcoal like the pig intestine or
isaw, chicken intestine or IUD, pig ears or walkman, pork blood or betamax, chicken head or
helmet and chicken feet or adidas. Kwek kwek and tokneneng are also very popular. These are
shelled boiled eggs and coated with flour batter mixture and then fried. The only difference between
the two are kwek kwek is quail eggs where tokneneng is duck egg or chicken egg.
7) Meat shop business – meat shops are common in wet markets. You can set up a meat shop
business there side by side with other many meat shop owners but what I have in mind is setting it
up away from the wet market where there is less competition. You can put it where there is no meat
shop existing in the place but be sure the location has enough foot traffic.
8) Tarpaulin printing business – there is a good market for this business and there are various
ways a printed tarpaulin can do. One very popular application is on food carts. Printed graphics on
tarpaulin is very attractive and it is tough too. On other occasions like birthdays, anniversary and
even on a funeral tarpaulin is used. political candidates on local and national election also used
printed tarpaulin on their campaign.
9) CAD plotting business – this is a very specialized business and only caters to architects and
engineers. A plotter is very similar to a printer and the only difference is a printer can only print letter
size or A4 size papers whereas a plotter can print very large paper size. It plots designs and
drawings made by an architect or engineer on a drafting paper where sizes range from a very small
9 x 12 inches to 36 x 48 inches.
10) Ukay-Ukay business – for those not familiar with this business, it is selling used clothing. The
used clothes are imported from other countries. Some of the clothes are overrun (still brand new but
didn’t pass the export standard) but still good. The reason why many Filipinos patronize it is because
of the cheap price. It only cost a fraction compared when buying in department stores or boutique.
11) Food Cart business – many Filipinos are very interested going into this business and most of
them, when they hear or see a food cart, what they have in mind is “franchising”. But come to think
of it, why will you franchise a food cart that is not well known or never heard of? Many people have
the wrong perception of food cart business so many food cart fabricators victimize innocent people
telling them to franchise their food cart for a very low price with no royalty fee but their food cart are
not popular or well known. So you will end up selling their product which they have sold you at a
higher price. You are literally selling their product, you are now their salesman and not a business
owner and you will have to pay their franchise fee. But on the contrary, if you plan to have food cart
business and cannot afford a well known brand with a pricey franchise fee, you can set-up your own
food cart and your own brand by contacting a food cart fabricator. Just be careful not to contact
those who sell franchised food carts, only those fabricators who makes made-to-order food carts.
Who knows, if ever your business became popular someday, you will become a franchisor to many
people who wants to franchise your business.
12) Tiangge – a small rented space and seller usually sells dry goods. This is not new and the word
“tiangge” is just our local term of the English word “Flea Market”. The reason why it is very popular
among Filipinos is because of the very cheap price of the items sold and it was already stereotyped
as “cheap items”. The usual place you can see them are parking lots or malls.
13) Cellphone loading business – the good thing about this business is you can start with a small
capital. The reason why is because of the recent technology of eloading, a universal type of loading
where you can sell load on all telecom networks including prepaid game cards. There is one
universal loading I know, the Vmobile Technologies load E extreme that you can try. Unlike if you
want to be a direct reseller of big telecom companies like Smart, Globe or Sun Cellular, you need a
big capital and to start an eloading business.
14) Shoe and bag repair business – there are tons of replica shoes and bags coming from China,
and because of the cheap price, almost everyone can afford replica designer bags in the fraction of
the price of the original. But because of the poor quality, these products are easily damaged and it is
a waste of money if they will throw it away. So the easy option is to go to a repair shop.
15) Laundry and dry cleaning business – sometimes is it more practical to get the service of a
laundry shop than hiring a laundry maid to get the job done specially if you only have few clothes.
There are also some clothes or comforter that cannot be washed with an ordinary washing machine
and if the clothes or bed sheets need to be dry cleaned, you certainly need a laundry shop.
16) Barber shop or Beauty Parlor business – although you can live without having a haircut, and
if you plan to become a hermit, a bum or just a hippie or live under a rock for the rest of your life you
don’t need a barber or a beautician. A good reason why it is a good business is because people
needs a haircut every 1 to 2 months to look good and be comfortable. As for me, although I’m not
vain or very conscious on my hairstyle, I’m not comfortable if I will not go to a barber shop at least
every 2 months. I admit that there are lots of barber shops and beauty parlor sprouting every where
and there are lots of competition already but since this type of service is a necessity and
consumable, there are still many customers who needs this service.
17) Selling native delicacies – there are many kinds native delicacies you can sell and the amazing
part is many Filipinos love to eat kakanin. Some of the kakanin or native delicacies are suman sa
ibos, puto, cuchinta, bibingka, halaya , sapin-sapin, biko and maja blanca. The only disadvantage of
this business is the goods are perishable and the kakanin should be sold within the day. Some
native delicacies have longer shelf life like barquillos, piaya, otap, puto seko and other dried goods.
18) Personalized T-shirt printing – I saw this business in a mall and it’s doing great because I see
many customers availing of the service. Technology made it possible to make personalized t-shirt
printing in a few minutes. You only need a computer, Adobe Photoshop and a t-shirt transfer paper
and presto! you already have a t-shirt printing business.
19) Selling washing machine and electric fan parts – these two appliances are the most basic
thing a human being, or more specifically a Pinoy needs to live more comfortably. Since we live in a
tropical country, the temperature is very warm and electric fan is the only choice for most of us. And
for washing our clothes, we need a washing machine.
20) Health and wellness products -these products are quite common and many companies are
jumping into this kind of business. The reason is people nowadays because of the modern lifestyle
are prone to stress. Most of the jobs today are very demanding both physically and mentally. That is
because of the technology. It is ironic to think that we invent computers and robots to serve humanity
but what is happening now is we are competing with each other in order to bring more new
technologies. For example, since the invention of the internet, call centers sprouted almost every
where in our country to outsource the industrialized countries for them to get cheap labor. But since
our time zones are different from theirs, we have to work on night shifts all the time. So call center
agents are exposed to numerous illnesses like hypertension and obesity. Most young adults today
have hypertension because of the new lifestyles not only in call centers but other online jobs or
career or just even entertainment and pleasure brought by the new technologies. People now are
also becoming lazy to cook their own healthy food and turn to fast foods all the time. Which in turn
produces many kinds of diseases due to being overweight. Year after year the demand of wellness
products will rise. Another example is the factories that are built to produce the new gadgets and
products for the new technologies. If you only know how polluted is in China now that people near
the industrial zones have to wear filter mask or pollution mask just to breath clean air.
Hoping that the business ideas I’ve shared has helped you decide on what business to start this
coming year. Please also share this on other social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter or
Google Plus.
