      - t_headline: What Is An Agricultural Product?
        t_text: Agricultural products are goods that come from plants, animals, and microorganisms. Also referred to as agricultural produce, agro products, and agro produce, these goods include crops, livestock, and dairy. Agricultural products can be further broken down into 4 categories. <br><br><ul type="disc"><li><strong>Food</strong> - Agro products encompass all food items that are made for human and animal consumption. For example, animal feed, farmed fish, and honey is food made from agricultural products.</li></ul><ul type="disc"><li><strong>Fuel - </strong>Fuel is a substance that can release energy to produce heat or power. Agro products, such as corn and sugarcane, can create ethanol, for example. Companies can then use ethanol as an additive for automotive gasoline.</li></ul><ul type="disc"><li><strong>Fiber - </strong>Agricultural crops, such as cotton, wool, and silk are often used by textile companies to create linen pieces. These fibers can also produce various types of rope and cloth.</li></ul><ul type="disc"><li><strong>Raw Materials - </strong>Raw materials refer to goods that do not get processed or refined. They can be used to feed livestock, which will become another form of agriculture. <strong></strong></li></ul> There is a diverse range of categories, in which agricultural products can fall under. This also means there are different types of businesses associated with agricultural production. For example, livestock breeding, crop harvesting, and greenhouses that grow products for retail are agro producers. Ranches, aquatic farms, and tree farms are also considered to be agricultural businesses.<br> <br>It is important to understand that storing and preserving raw materials is not a part of agricultural production. Handling and distributing goods, meatpacking, and <a href="//ziphaccp.com/food-manufacturing/food-manufacturing-process.html" data-skyscraper="The Ins and Outs of the Food Manufacturing Process">processing products</a> are also not forms of agriculture. Lastly, farming and caring for animals for personal use, and not for retail, is not an agricultural production activity.
