Processors in agribusiness primarily focus on refining raw agricultural materials. This involves transforming raw produce into processed products that can be marketed and sold to consumers or businesses. This process can include activities such as cleaning, sorting, packaging, and preserving the raw materials to improve their usability and shelf-life.
While enhancing production efficiency, supplying basic materials, and focusing on end consumer satisfaction are also important aspects of the agribusiness supply chain, the core function of processors is the refinement of raw agricultural materials.
