At an introductory level, the course examines strategic issues set in the context of food and fibre industries. Students carry out investigations framed around contemporary issues faced by agribusiness managers in firms & organisations providing inputs and services (finance, farm merchandise, technical services, plant & equipment & human resources) to agricultural, pastoral and horticultural producers. Each case study involves interviews with managers and other stakeholders. This is the first level of three courses that constitute the educational spine of the Agribusiness degree program.
This is the first of three capstone courses that together form the core of the Agribusiness degree. The others are Food and Fibre Case Studies II (AGRC2000) and Food and Fibre Case Studies III (AGRC3000). Each of these courses is called a ‘capstone’ because it provides a commercial, integrative framework within which you will be challenged to draw together the understanding you have gained from other, more discipline-based courses. Capstone courses are the core of the Agribusiness program because they provide the basis for understanding, critically analysing and reporting on the complex, multi-faceted, integrative issues characterising agribusiness management.
AGRC1012, as the first of these three capstones, has threeᅠbroad purposes:
- To introduce you to agribusiness
- To introduce you to differentᅠparts of the agribusiness supply chain
- To introduce and practice the learning processes that are the foundation of integrative thinking and critical analysis.
To achieve these three broad purposes, the course combines classroom sessions, field trips and guest lecturers from agribusiness firms. You will better understand the specific learning ‘targets’ for this course from the formal statement of learning objectives and graduate attributes.
The learning objectives 2 and 5 cannot be achieved without participation in the field trips. Therefore, participation in all field trips is compulsory for this course.

Task description
Business Model Canvas Reports 1:
These assessments involve a field visit to an agribusiness, where students utilise the Business Model Canvas (BMC) to understand the business. It is a practical and comprehensive approach to learning. This method introduces students to the real-world dynamics of agribusiness and equips them with a powerful analytical tool to examine its operations.
The BMC is a strategic management template for developing new business models or documenting and analysing existing ones. It visually outlines a business's nine key building blocks, making it easier to understand how a company operates, generates value, and sustains itself in the competitive market. These blocks include:
1. Value Propositions: What value does the business promise to deliver to its customers? This component focuses on the problem the business solves or the need it fulfils.
2. Customer Segments: Who are the business's target customers? Identifying the specific segments the business serves is crucial for tailoring its value propositions.
3. Channels: How does the business reach customer segments to deliver the value proposition? This involves the company's marketing and distribution strategies.
4. Customer Relationships: What relationship does the business establish with its customer segments? This could range from personal assistance to automated services.
5. Revenue Streams: How does the business earn money? This block examines the company's various sources of income.
6. Key Resources: What critical assets are essential for the business to deliver its value proposition? Resources can be physical, intellectual, human, or financial.
7. Key Activities: What are the most important activities the business must do to deliver its value proposition? This includes production, problem-solving, and platform/network maintenance.
8. Key Partnerships: Who are the business's key partners or suppliers? Partnerships are crucial for optimising operations, reducing risks, and acquiring resources.
9. Cost Structure: What are the business's major cost drivers? Understanding the cost structure is vital for ensuring the business model is financially viable.
By analysing an agribusiness through the lens of the BMC, students will gain insights into how the business creates, delivers, and captures value. This hands-on experience deepens their understanding of the theoretical aspects of business models and enhances their analytical skills by applying the BMC to a real-world context. Addressing all nine building blocks allows students to develop a holistic view of the business's operational, financial, and strategic foundations, preparing them for future roles in business development, strategic planning, and entrepreneurship.
Business Model Canvas Report 2:
Building on the foundational skills developed in the first two assessments, the third assessment challenges students to delve deeper into the Business Model Canvas (BMC) they have previously completed. This phase of the assessment series is designed to enhance analytical and problem-solving skills, focusing on strategic aspects of the agribusiness studied. Below are the detailed instructions for completing this assessment:
Assessment Overview:
For this assessment, you will build upon the work done in the previous assessments by conducting a thorough analysis of the agribusiness using the BMC. Your task includes creating a value chain map for the company, identifying a specific problem within one of the BMC’s nine building blocks, and proposing a viable solution.
Instructions
1. Value Chain Analysis:
• Begin by mapping out the agribusiness's primary and support activities to introduce the value chain concept.
2. Analysis of BMC Building Blocks:
• Review the Business Model Canvas you completed in the previous assessment.
• Write a detailed report on each of the nine building blocks, focusing on the operational, financial, and strategic aspects of the agribusiness. Each section should include an analysis of the current state.
3. Identification of a Problem:
• Based on your analysis, identify a critical problem or area of improvement within one of the nine building blocks. Explain why this issue is significant and how it affects the overall business model.
4. Proposing a Solution:
• Develop a comprehensive solution to the identified problem. Your solution should be practical, based on industry best practices, and include a brief implementation plan. Consider the potential impact of your solution on the business's operations and financial health.
Submission Guidelines
• Your report will be submitted on Turnitin.
• Ensure your analysis is supported by relevant data, theories, and concepts discussed in class.
• While this instruction does not specify a word limit, please note that Inspera will impose a word limit for each section of the report.
• Submit your completed assessment through Inspera by the specified deadline. Review the platform's submission guidelines and technical requirements beforehand.
This assessment offers an opportunity to showcase your comprehensive understanding of the BMC, analytical skills, and ability to propose strategic solutions to real-world business challenges.
This task has been designed to be challenging, authentic and complex. Whilst students may use AI and/or MT technologies, successful completion of assessment in this course will require students to critically engage in specific contexts and tasks for which artificial intelligence will provide only limited support and guidance.

- Look for a company that is involved in preparing, marketing, or selling the final food product to consumers. Examples include restaurants, food service companies, or retail brands.
- Utilise the Internet, business databases, or food industry reports to find a company related to your chosen product.
B. Production Agriculture Sector
- Identify a farm or agricultural business that grows or raises the primary ingredient(s) for your chosen product.
- Search for direct producers, cooperatives, or family farms. Use agricultural directories, farming association websites, and agricultural research databases.
C. Input Supply Sector
- Find a company that supplies the raw materials, machinery, seeds, or other inputs required for producing your chosen product.
- Look into suppliers of seeds, fertilisers, farming equipment, or financial services like loans and insurance tailored to agriculture.
3. Gather Information on Each Firm
For each company you identify, research and note down the following:
- Overview and Market Presence: Size of the firm, location, scope of operations (local, national, international), and the markets they serve.
- Products and Services: Specific products or services they offer, especially as related to your chosen food or fibre product.
- Link to Your Product: Explain how each firm is involved in the lifecycle of your chosen product, from production to market.
4. Compare and Contrast the Firms
- Analyse the similarities and differences in their market approach, size, geographical presence, and role in the food production and marketing system.
- Consider aspects such as their contribution to the economy, employment, sustainability practices, and innovation.
5. Identify Challenges
- Research and reflect on the various challenges each firm faces, such as regulatory hurdles, supply chain issues, market competition, environmental concerns, and changing consumer preferences.
6. Prepare Your Presentation (8 Minutes)
- Introduction: Briefly introduce your chosen product and the importance of understanding its production and marketing system.
- Company Overviews: Present a slide for each firm, summarising key points from your research. Use visuals like logos, product images, or infographics to make it engaging.
