Agriculture & Primary Production

Business types

• Shrimp & Shellfish Farms

  Aquaculture operations producing shrimp, oysters, clams, mussels, scallops, and crayfish. Shellfish farming is one of the most environmentally positive forms of food production — filter feeders require no feed inputs and improve water quality.

• Pork & Pig Farms

  Commercial and artisan operations raising pigs for pork production. Pork is the world's most widely consumed meat by volume. From industrial CAFO operations to heritage breed outdoor-raised farms, the pork sector spans the full spectrum.

• Cacao Farms & Estates

  Agricultural operations growing Theobroma cacao trees for cocoa bean production. The foundation of the global chocolate industry, cacao farms operate across tropical zones in West Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.

• Poultry Farms

  Commercial operations raising chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese for meat and egg production. Poultry is the world's most consumed meat protein, with global demand continuing to grow faster than beef and pork.

• Tea Estates & Plantations

  Large-scale agricultural estates cultivating Camellia sinensis for black, green, white, oolong, and pu-erh tea production. Tea is grown across Asia, Africa, and South America, with estates ranging from colonial-era giants to boutique artisan gardens.

• Mushroom Farms

  Operations cultivating edible and medicinal mushrooms including button, shiitake, oyster, lion's mane, and specialty varieties. A rapidly growing category driven by plant-based diet trends, functional food interest, and culinary demand.

• Fish Farming Operations

  Controlled aquaculture operations raising fish species such as salmon, tilapia, catfish, and trout for food production. Growing rapidly as wild fishery stocks decline.
