Agribusiness refers to the businesses collectively associated with the production, processing, and distribution of agricultural products. This industry accounts for nearly one-fifth of the U.S. gross national product and employs close to a quarter of the U.S. labor force. There is a continuing strong demand by agribusiness firms for more and better employees trained in both management and the agricultural sciences.
