The agribusiness industry has been the backbone of our country.

We were once one of the major producers of agricultural products that
are even exported to other countries. With the continuous growth of
population comes the increase of demand for basic agricultural
commodities that are staple to our everyday consumption. In addition
to the problem of population growth is the conversion of farm or
agricultural lands to residential sites. The climate change and
increasing competition with imported products at times jeopardizes the
produce of our local farmers. All of these factors pose complications to
the agribusiness of our country.
The significance of agribusiness must be prioritized and the
setbacks this sector is confronting must be addressed immediately.
Efficient and effective agricultural practices must be implemented.
Proper waste disposal and alleviating pollution can also contribute to
improving the agriculture sector of our country. Agribusiness can then
have guaranteed growth and can be expanded.
Albeit these difficulties, the agriculture sector can offer many
business opportunities. Government agencies and different non-
government organizations continue to provide technical and financial
support to local agriculturists and business venturer in this sector. The
innovations brought about by technology and programs in pursuit of
sustainability, more business opportunities are enhanced and created to
uplift the agribusiness sector.
I am driven to learn and explore the agribusiness sector and its
various prospects. I am personally inclined to this sector as our family
started to venture to some agricultural business. Hopefully I can pursue
and establish my own agricultural business that I can grow into a
thriving business entity. I will adapt business innovation and strategies
that can be in tune with the progressive business sector and provide
sustainable products to the community.
