LESSON: 1

Introduction
Welcome to lesson 1 of this module! This lesson will help you understand what Agribusiness
is all about and the big picture of Agribusiness and how this affects our life. But before that,
answer first the Activity below.
ACTIVITY: WORD SEARCH PUZZLE
There are 30 possible words that can be found below. Encircle the word related to
Agriculture. Good luck!
ANALYSIS:
1.) WHAT DO YOU IMAGINE WHEN YOU HEARD THE WORD
AGRICULTURE?
When I heard the word agriculture, I imagined thing like farming, animal raising,
plantation, livestock, and lands. However, these words will not entirely explain what
agriculture is. For me, AGRICULTURE is SUSTAINABILITY. Without agriculture,
generations would not exist because it refers to the use of land to produce goods.
Agriculture is the foundation of civilization. Cultivation of plants and raising livestock
animals for agricultural purposes allowed humans to settle in villages from past
generations until now. As societies have developed, agriculture has remained
important on the local, state, national, and international levels. Therefore, agriculture
should not be underrated because through this, we were sustained and existed in
this world.

2.) WHAT ABOUT AGRIBUSINESS? HOW WILL YOU DEFINE IT?

For me, it is a business that earns all its profit from agriculture. It tends to be a large-
scale business operation and may immense in farming, processing and
manufacturing or the packaging and distribution of agricultural products. It includes
all the activities within the agricultural food and natural resource industry. It involves
selling items to farmers for production; provide services to other agricultural
businesses; or be engaged in the marketing, transportation, processing, and
distribution of agricultural products. Moreover, it provides people with food, clothing,
and shelter. It also provides jobs for millions of people in the country. Pee

APPLICATION
1.) IN YOUR ANALYSIS, POINT OIT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE
INPUT SUPPLIES AND OUTPUT AGRIBUSINESS COMPANY.
There is a crucial connection between the input supplies and output agribusiness
company. Agricultural inputs are a great determinant of yields in any type of
agricultural production. The agribusiness company supplies input to the farmers and
the farmers provide us food and other agricultural outputs. There are a lot of inputs in
agriculture supplied by agribusiness company. One of these were the agricultural
machineries. Machinery has become essential of modern farming. It has made labor
the easiest input to handle, where different machines are upcoming every now and
then to address the various duties that the farm is needed to. Machinery has made
production efficient by cutting on cost and time resources. Apparently, all machines
required to handle operations right from the planting to the final harvesting processes
are available today. A great advantage of machinery is uniformity in performing farm
tasks. Therefore common mistakes are avoided unlike when manual labor was
deployed and different individuals had different levels of productivity in their
performance. What I am trying to convey is that, the better the input in Agriculture,
the higher crop yield.

2.) IDENTIFY (1) ONE AGRIBUSINESS PRODUCT (FINISHED PRODUCT)

AND DETERMINE ITS CONTAINED AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. AND
