Agribusiness includes all the activities that take place in the production, manufacturing, distribution, and wholesale and retail sales of agriculture commodities. The term "agribusiness" was coined by two economists, John Davis and Ray Goldberg, at the Harvard Business School in 1957. The agriculture industry had been changing drastically since the early 1900s, when almost all agricultural activity took place on the farm. Davis and Goldberg believed the term agribusiness was more suitable to describe the whole of all these enterprises that now take place outside the farm gate, bringing products from the field to the consumer. Modern agribusiness is a dynamic and growing industrial complex that provides Americans with the highest-quality, lowest-cost food supply in the world. Agribusiness includes all the activities that take place in the production, manufacturing, distribution, and wholesale and retail sales of agriculture commodities.
