Agribusiness refers to the integrated system of economic activities involved in the production, processing, distribution, and marketing of agricultural products and related inputs. It extends beyond primary agricultural production to include upstream industries that provide agricultural inputs, such as seeds, machinery, and fertilizers, as well as downstream activities involving food processing, storage, transportation, wholesaling, and retailing ^[1]. Agribusiness is characterized by the coordination of multiple actors and stages across agricultural value chains, linking farm production with markets, consumers, and supporting industries ^[2]. Unlike agriculture as a production activity limited to farming operations, agribusiness encompasses the broader network of commercial relationships and organizational processes through which agricultural commodities move from input supply to final consumption ^[3]. Within agricultural economics and management, agribusiness provides a framework for analyzing value creation, market organization, supply chain coordination, and strategic management across the agricultural and food sectors ^[4].
