INTRODUCTION
Agribusiness is a system of interrelated and closely knit stages in the life cycle of an
agricultural consumer product. As stated by Custodio3 agribusiness encompasses all operations
involved in the production of farm inputs, the use of these farm inputs in the cultivation of crops
or raising of livestock, the various handling and processing of agricultural commodities, and the
transfer of these commodities to the end-users. Interspersed among these operations are the
various support services that provide “logistics, coordination, financing, manpower, technology,
information, policies and programs, incentives and other services” that lead to the achievement
of a successful agricultural business enterprise.
Cited earlier are the five major areas that are also subsystems making up the whole
agribusiness System.
The input subsystem: This is the first subsystem from which all other agribusiness subsystems
emanate. Here, all inputs like fertilizers, seeds, machineries, are manufactured, imported or
distributed.
The production subsystem: Inputs are directly used for the production of an agricultural
commodity as end product in itself or as a raw material for the production of other products.
The processing subsystem: The commodities from the production subsystem are transformed
into various products. The levels of transformation depend upon the level of processing4, which
can be as simple as washing and grading to as complex as chemical alteration.
The marketing subsystem: This subsystem is concerned with the transfer of goods from source to
end-user. It includes all handling procedures and infrastructures that move the commodities from
one point to another. The marketing subsystem may take the following routes:
THE PRODUCTION SUBSYSTEM : In this subsystem all the production happened like
plantation and harvesting.
THE PROCESSING SUBSYSTEM: In this subsystem all the harvested rice are going to be
processed.
THE MARKETING SUBSYSTEM: In this subsystem all the rice plant that has been processed are
going to market.
OBJECTIVES
This study generally aims to analyze and assess how all agribusiness subsystem
helps the farmer in his rice field plantation.
Input subsystem
Production subsystem
Processing subsystem
Marketing subsystem
RESULT AND DISSCUSSION
This chapter gives detailed analysis of the data found in the study. The data will be drawn
from the interview.
According to the participant, input subsystem are the mostly used things in farming
including seeds, fertilizer, tools and machineries. Seeds are the most important thing when you
were about to start planting. It is the main needs of a farmer in planting of rice or crops. The
fertilizer is used as a second important needs in planting. It helps plants to grow healthy and
faster. The tools are used in taking care of the plant one example of it is sickle, it used to cut
grasses also when harvesting of rice it is useful too. The machineries are the common things used
in harvesting people nowadays prefer to use machineries in harvesting because it is more
efficient and fast.
Based on the participant insight, The other subsystems are the production, processing and
marketing. In production subsystem it usually happened when you were about to harvest all your
crops. Then after you harvest it you will go in processing subsystem to processed all the
harvested crops and make it to a products. The last subsystem is the marketing it is happened
when all other subsystems are done including input, production and processing
METHODOLOGY
This chapter discussed the method used in conducting this study, locale of the study,
the participants, research design, The data gathering techniques and instrument, validation of
data gathered.
Research Design
The purpose of this study is to gain farmer insight about the agribusiness subsystem in his field
of agriculture. For Example, what is the important subsystem that help you in farming. And what
subsystem helps you to provide good and better farming.
Research Approach
The participant involved in conducting this interview is an owner of a farm who owns hectare of
rice plantation.
The primary data will be collected by the researcher. Moreover, these data will be gathered
directly from the participants through an in depth interview.
The data analysis of this research will be mostly represented on qualitative manner. It has been
mention earlier that the data will be gathered by an in depth interview. As a result in this analysis
will be qualitative.
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
SUMMARY
The main objective of this study was to make a descriptive interview about how
all the agribusiness subsystem works in the field of agriculture.
What is the most important subsystem in farming and how it helps you in your field
What is production subsystem and how is it important in farming
What is processing subsystem and how is it important in farming
What is marketing subsystem and how is it important in farming
