Agribusiness (2018)
Agribusiness incorporates all business and associated organisations that are part of the agricultural sector. In a small, remote economy such as New Zealand successful agribusiness relies on the ability to understand the operation of competitive global markets, sustainable farm systems, international marketing and the management of complex and extended supply chains. Agribusiness builds knowledge and skills in management and economics of particular relevance to the agribusiness sector.
Agribusiness is available as a minor.
To complete a minor in Agribusiness students must complete 60 points including at least 30 points above 100 level from AGBUS papers, including AGBUS101.
Note: There will be no new enrolments in the Agribusiness major in 2018. Students enrolled in 2017 or previously should consult the Waikato Management School for programme advice.
