Industry SpotlightAgriculture Business

Agriculture, food, and related industries contributed $992 billion to the US gross domestic product (GDP) in 2015, a 5.5% share, according to the latest research available from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). Exports from US farms, which make up a significant portion of agriculture business income, are expected to reach $140 billion during the fiscal year 2018, which opened on October 1st — $1 billion higher than the USDA’s August estimate but $500 million lower than overseas sales in fiscal year 2017.

At this rate, farm exports this year could be the fourth-largest on record, just behind the $140.5 billion total for 2017. The USDA notes that “exports are continuing strong.” The USDA said it raised its forecast of exports “largely due to expected increases in corn and distillers’ dried grains with solubles,” a coproduct of corn milling. “Soybean export volumes continue to set records, raising the soybean forecast [by] $200 million, to $24.1 billion, which offsets expected declines in soybean meal and oil.” 

Income from agricultural businesses is also expected to rise in 2018, according to the USDA, in the first increase the sector has experienced since 2013. The USDA forecast also predicts that China, Canada, and Mexico, in that order, will be the largest US customers, accounting for nearly 45% of exports in fiscal year 2018.

With current robust markets for US agricultural products and positive future projections for the sector, now is a great time to sell your agricultural business for top price. It is also a good time to buy an agriculture business that has the ability to grow substantially. Either way, it makes good sense to work with a trusted business broker.
