 Conclusion

Agribusiness involves all the steps required to send an agricultural good to market, namely
production, processing, and distribution. This industry is an important component of the economy
in countries with arable land since agricultural products can be exported. Agribusiness treats the
different aspects of raising agricultural products as an integrated system. Farmers raise animals
and harvest fruits and vegetables with the help of sophisticated harvesting techniques, including
the use of GPS to direct operations. Manufacturers develop increasingly efficient machines that
can drive themselves. Only five sectors contribute the most to the growth of gross domestic
product (GDP). In the last 2018-19 financial year, these sectors have contributed two-thirds or 6
to the GDP. These sectors have added Rs 7.5 lakh to the GDP.
