All agents of the food and fiber value chain and those institutions that influence it are part of the agribusiness system. 

Within the agriculture industry, "agribusiness" is used simply as a portmanteau of agriculture and business, referring to the range of activities and disciplines encompassed by modern food production. There are academic degrees in and departments of agribusiness, agribusiness trade associations, agribusiness publications, and so forth, worldwide.

Agricultural productivity is measured as the ratio of agricultural outputs to agricultural inputs. While individual products are usually measured by weight, their varying densities make measuring overall agricultural output difficult. Therefore, the output is usually measured as the market value of final output, which excludes intermediate products such as corn feed used in the meat industry. This output value may be compared to many different types of inputs such as labour and land (yield). These are called partial measures of productivity.

Track 12: Fertilizer and Pesticide

Agriculture conference focusses on fertilizer which is any material of natural or synthetic origin that is applied to soils or to plants tissues to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants. Fertilizers enhance the growth of plants. This goal is met in two ways, the traditional one being additives that provide nutrients. The second mode by which some fertilizers act is to enhance the effectiveness of the soil by modifying its water retention and aeration.

Pesticides are substances meant for attracting, seducing, and then destroying, or mitigating any pest. They are a class of biocide. The most common use of pesticides is as plant protection products (also known as crop protection products), which in general protect plants from damaging influences such as weeds, plant diseases or insects. This use of pesticides is so common that the term pesticide is often treated as synonymous with plant protection product, although it is, in fact, a broader term, as pesticides are also used for non-agricultural purposes. Agriculture conference provides an opportunity to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of Fertilizer and Pesticide.

Introduction

Without modern agricultural techniques, current population levels could not be sustained and projected near-term population growth would create stresses that would destabilize the current global social and political order.  Relatively recent innovations in seeds, chemicals and fertilizers have enabled agricultural producers to meet the ever-growing demands of a hungry world population. Even with the rapid increases in agricultural productivity, however, challenges for the agriculture industry to supply the growing global economy with sufficient supplies of agricultural staples are greater now than ever before. A new green revolution similar to the one that took place during the latter part of the 20th century is taking place all over the world to meet the expected demand by the growing world population and its increased standard of living. 

Scope and importance

Economic growth and industrialization of a nation are inextricably linked to the continuous availability, access, diversity and modernization of its agriculture sector. Agriculture, in fact, plays a vital function in whole goals and endeavors to attain fiscal development. A lot of the present day’s developed economies initially struggled to make their agricultural sector stronger. The states at a priority basis supply monetary help to their farmers, researchers and scientists with a plan to boost their agricultural inventions still further. Agricultural science is among one of the best career options of a study and because of the lack of information and proper guidance, peoples usually under-estimate this field. Each and the every requirements and need of creature including food, clothing and shelter are straightforwardly rewarded by agriculture. A continuous research work is involving in this field to provide the maximum necessities to the ever-increasing population of the world. Essentially, the entire agricultural land expansion might be taken place in developing countries of the world. Consequently, the importance of agriculture to society impinges on our quality of life, food, nutrition, clothing and locality where peoples are living.

The global agriculture market is expected to grow from $11,287.56 billion in 2021 to $12,541.15 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%. The agriculture market is expected to grow to $18,814.21 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 10.7%.

The agriculture market consists of sales of agriculture and related services by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) that provide agriculture and related services such as animal and crop production and other support services. Agriculture involves the cultivation of plants, and animal and bird rearing for food, fabrics, fibers, bio-fuel, medicinal and other products used to sustain and enhance human life. This market also includes horticulture and aquaculture. This market excludes proceeds from captive (internal) consumption of agriculture and forest produce for further processing.

The main types of agriculture are animal produce, crop production, and rural activities. Crop production is the practice of cultivating crops for both domestic and commercial use. Wheat, maize, rice, jute, and other crops are grown on a big scale. The nature of agricultural products can be organic and conventional that are distributed through supermarkets/hypermarkets, convenience stores, e-commerce, and other channels.

The Asia Pacific was the largest region in the agriculture market in 2021. North America was the second largest region in the agriculture market. The regions covered in the agriculture report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, and Africa.

The world population is growing and is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050. An increase in population creates more demand for food. According to The Agricultural Outlook by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) published, global cereal production was projected to increase by 13% by 2027. Crop production, farming activities, and trade volumes will have to increase to meet the need for the increased population. Agriculture companies will increase acquisitions in arable land to increase crop production. Agriculture companies are expected to increase their presence and activities to meet increased demand from farming activities and increase their growth.

The outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the agriculture market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally.

As governments imposed lockdowns, farmers faced difficulties in harvesting and marketing their produce. Also, the export of agricultural produce declined significantly as countries imposed restrictions on cross-border trade. The outbreak is expected to continue to hurt businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the agriculture market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a 'black swan event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy.

Shortage of labor and increasing demand for advanced agriculture tools in many countries is driving the demand for agriculture robots or agribots. Agribots are used in farmlands for pruning, weeding, and spraying pesticides and herbicides. They are connected to tractors for spraying water, seeds, pesticides, nutrients, and harvesting. For instance, Energid Citrus Picking Robot System picks an orange every two seconds from a tree, thus enhancing productivity and thereby limiting the need for agricultural labor. Some of the companies providing ag robots for effective and efficient productivity in agriculture are Small Robot Company, Naio Technologies, EarthSense, HETO Agrotechnics, Harvest Automation, PrecisionHawk, BoniRob, and others.

Why attend???
