Opportunities for Value-Added Agriculture
The future of value-added agriculture will depend on the involvement and commitment of farmers and rural residents. Success is not dependent on any government program. Although the government (ie. universities, USDA, etc.) can play an important role, it is only a supplemental role. The key driver is farmers and rural residents who want to shoulder the responsibility for making it work.
Market opportunities exist for the creation of viable value-added businesses. The question facing us is whether farmers and rural residents have the skills and commitment to take advantage of good opportunities and build them into viable businesses. The AgMRC Web site is designed to help you identify and assess these opportunities and build successful businesses.
