HOW AGRIBUSINESS DIFFERS FROM THE CONVENTIONAL BUSINESS

Agribusiness is the business of agricultural production, an industry engaged in the producing operations of a farm, the manufacture and distribution of farm equipment and supplies, and the processing, storage, and distribution of farm commodities. The term was coined in 1957 by Goldberg and Davis. It includes agrichemicals, breeding , crop production ( farming and contract farming ), distribution, farm machinery ,processing, and seed supply, as well as marketing and retail sales. All agents of the food and fiber value chain and those institutions that influence it are part of the agribusiness system. Examples of Agribusiness Companies Deere & Company, which makes John Deere equipment, may be one of the best-known examples of a classic agribusiness company. The firm doesn't own farms or produce food products, but nearly every farmer owns a John Deere tractor, baler or some other piece of the quintessential green and gold farm equipment.

That moment I decided I will write on value addition, but along the line, I got busy and it escaped my head. Few days back I saw some pictures from a friend of mine who i

Meet the Dreaded Pest Quelea quelea, the Most Populous and Destructive Bird Species on Earth.

Couple of weeks back, precisely December 9th, 2017, I saw a news headline "FG begins aerial spray against Quelea birds, other pests in Bauchi" It was the first time I am reading such headline, I was able to isolate and interpret what “ pest” and aerial spray” is, but I had no idea what Quelea is, also I have not heard of aerial spray as mode of combating pest in Nigeria prior that time. So I promised to embark on a research into the new “ guy” Quelea compelling us to bring out agricultural fighter chopers/ jets. In my mind, I thought its another stronger novel pest, evolving from an older specie we already know, like the case of the fall army warm we had to deal with in 2017. I was wrong, Quelea is not new, as a matter of fact it has been described as far back as 1758 by Linnaeus and its preferred locality being India, this was however corrected to Senegal by Scater. Reichenbach in 1950 gave the bird the generic name Quelea. Quelea is the most numerous bird
