The global agribusiness market 2016-2020 report says introduction of trade policies in agribusiness is a key trend for this market with governments of different countries, especially the American and APAC countries, taking many initiatives to improve trade policies by introducing FTAs across geographical boundaries. FTAs reduce barriers on exports and improve trade opportunities. This helps in expanding agribusiness across nations. Nanotechnology applications in global agribusiness are considered the new industrial revolution, and both developed and developing countries are investing in this technology to secure a sizeable market share.

The analysts forecast the global agribusiness market to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% during the period 2016-2020. According to the agribusiness market report, increasing demand for livestock and dairy products is a key driver for this market. The consumption of meat and dairy products is growing rapidly due to different factors like high disposable income, increasing urbanization, and changing consumption patterns. In China, the demand for pork is likely to increase. In Argentina and Brazil, the demand for beef is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years. By 2030, the consumption of beef is expected to increase by 68 million tons. This will lead to the growth of agribusiness companies involved in core production as well as livestock breeding and feed.

Biotechnology can be used to modify the agribusiness products with respect to the nutrition and taste. It enables the natural system of flora and fauna to work more efficiently and ensures the final product contains different types of food values like nutrition and taste. During 2015, the Americas dominated the global agribusiness market by occupying more than 45% of the overall market space. The application and development of new agricultural technologies regarding seeds, crop protection, agricultural equipment, biotechnology, and renewable energies coupled with the introduction of agri-innovation programs will propel growth in the agribusiness market in the Americas during the forecast period.
