Agriculture stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose businesses are tied to producing, processing, supplying or supporting food and fiber — for example farms, seed and fertilizer makers, farm-equipment manufacturers, commodity processors and agritech firms. Investors use them to gain exposure to the agricultural sector; their returns tend to be cyclical and sensitive to weather, commodity prices, trade policy and biological risks, which can increase volatility but also provide diversification and income opportunities.
