CONCEPT OF AGRI-BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
• "any business organization that supplies farm
inputs or services, or that produces, or that
processes, distributes or wholesales
agricultural products, or retails them to
consumers“ modified from (Downey and
Erickson, 1987).
• The agribusiness sector comprises various
commercial enterprises that provide inputs to
the farming sector, produce and supply
agricultural products, markets, processes,
distributes agricultural products, and those that
provide services for the smooth operation of
the agribusiness activities
• Thus, the sector is divided into four economically
interdependent sub-sectors:
• (a) Input supply for farm production:
(i) includes seed, fertilizer, chemicals, labour,
machinery, etc.
(ii) development of this sub-sector determines the
seasonal sizes of the farm production sub-sector.
