Sinopsis

Reprint of the 1957 Edition. áFull facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software.áAgribusiness is the business of agricultural production which involves the production, protection, sales, and marketing of the product to satisfy the customers need. áThe term is a portmanteau of agriculture and business and was coined in 1957 by John Davis and Ray Goldberg. áIt includes agrichemicals, breeding, crop production (farming or contract farming), distribution, farm machinery, processing, and seed supply, as well as marketing and retail sales. All agents of the food and fiber value chain and those institutions that influence it are part of the agribusiness system.áIn their book A Concept of Agribusiness, Goldberg and áDavis provided a rigorous economic framework for the field. They traced a complex value-added chain that begins with the farmerâÇÖs purchase of seed and livestock and ends with a product fit for the consumerâÇÖs table.áIt may rightfully be considered one of the foundation studies on the subject.áScarce in the original.
