Agriculture sub-sectors

The primary agricultural sector covers a wide range of sub-sectors. AgrInvest is active in all of them. Sub-sectors can be broadly defined as:

  • Arable farming that includes general crops like beans, potatoes, wheat, barley and corn but also the production of forage feed like grass, alfalfa and vetch
  • Open field vegetable production like onions, carrots and peas
  • Covered greenhouse crops like tomatoes, sweet pepper, cucumber also vertical farming
  • Animal production for milk through cows, goats and buffaloes also meat production by cattle and sheep
  • Mixed farming like agro-forestry

Primary agriculture includes post-harvest handling of crops. Like drying, cleaning and storing. Grading and packing of crops is generally considered further processing, but this division is rather arbitrary.

AgrInvest has extensive hands-on experience with all of these sub-sectors. We use in-house developed tools and economic models to analyze the potential opportunities and help our clients to reach an optimum solution.
