ABSTRACT
Agribusiness could be a comprehensive concept shelters input suppliers, agro-processors, exporters, traders, and retailers. Business delivers inputs to farmers and joins them to customers through the handling, financing, storage, processing, marketing, transportation, and delivering of agro-industry product and maybe disintegrated further into four main teams (Yumkella et al., 2011):
Agricultural input business for growing agricultural production, like agricultural machinery, tools, and equipment; pesticides, fertilizers, insecticides; irrigation systems and connected equipment;
Agro-industry: Like food and beverages industry; tobacco product, animal skin and animal skin products; textile, footwear, and garment; wood and wood product; rubber products; yet as industry products supported agricultural materials;
Instrumentation for process agricultural raw materials, as well as machinery, tools, storage facilities, cooling technology, and spare parts;
Numerous services, financing, marketing, and distribution companies, as well as storage, transport, ICTs, packaging materials and style for higher promoting and distribution.
Therefore, agribusiness is a term accustomed mean farming and all the opposite industries and services that represent the availability chain from the farm through process, wholesaling, and merchandising to the buyer (from farm to fork within the case of food products) (Yumkella et al., 2011). Agro-industry includes all the post-harvest activities that are concerned within the transformation, preservation, and preparation of agricultural production for go-between or final consumption of food and non-food 2product (Wilkinson and Rocha, 2009). It consists of six main teams in step with the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC), particularly food and beverages; tobacco products; paper and wood products; textiles, footwear, and apparel; animal skin product; and rubber products. The term captures various primary and secondary post-harvest activities, starting from basic village-level trade goods preparation to fashionable industrial processes and involving wide differing levels of scale, quality, and labor, capital, and technology intensity. Food process industries tend to dominate this sector in developing countries, as well as the Southeast Mediterranean. Rao (2006) teams food process industries into three categories: primary—those that involve the fundamental process of natural turn out, as an example, cleaning, grading, and de-husking; secondary—those that embody easy or elementary modification of natural turn out, as an example, chemical process of edible oils; and tertiary—those that embody some sort of advanced modification to the natural turn out like creating it into edible product like tomatoes into ketchup, farm product into cheese, etc.
The agri-food system encompasses the interlinked set of activities that run from seed to table, as well as agricultural input production and distribution, farm-level production, raw product assembly, processing, and promoting. It encompasses the worth chains for various agricultural and food products and inputs and also the linkages among them. The agri-food system is additionally a shorthand term for agriculture and connected agro-industries. Whereas most of the analysis refers expressly to it a part of this expanded agriculture that produces food, several of the conclusions apply equally well to those elements of agriculture and agro-industry that turn out non-food products like fibers and biofuels.
Agro-processing is that the subset of industrial that processes raw materials and intermediate products derived from the agricultural sector. Agro-processing business, therefore, suggests that reworking products originating from agriculture, biological science, and fisheries (FAO, 1997).
This book reviews the trouble of agribusiness as a future of agriculture in the Southeast Mediterranean Sea. There is no problem in agriculture as it is, but there is a concern in the Southeast Mediterranean Sea about the future of agriculture in this place as it is. In this book, the author has presented the most views of the specialists in agriculture and agribusiness to explain the significance of agribusiness so that the economic growth in the region can be completed. In Chapter two, the agribusiness for the 3southeast Mediterranean’s prosperity is presented. In the third chapter, the author has presented the views of the majority of specialists in climate change, causes and effects to clarify the significance of causes, and effects of climate change in order to complete the economic development in that region. In Chapter four, the author has presented the most views of the climate change specialists in Africa to explain the significance of climatic impacts on global warming in Africa. In Chapter five, the author has presented the most of the views of the majority of specialists in agriculture and development to clarify the significance of climatic impacts on crop yields and net farm incomes in Africa. As well as in Chapter six, the author has presented the most views of the specialists in climate change and food security (CCFS) to clarify the significance of climate change as an important impact on food security in Africa. In Chapter seven, the author has presented the most of the views of the specialists in future threats to agricultural food production to clarify the significance of agriculture to be able to complete the food production in Southeast Mediterranean Sea, and then moved to the problem of Egypt and the significance of agriculture in that state as the outlet of North Africa. After that, the book moved in Chapter eight to present the most of the views of the specialists in promoting agri-business development in the Southeast Mediterranean Sea to clarify the significance of agribusiness to be able to complete development in the Southeast Mediterranean Sea. The book presented the opinions of the most of agribusiness specialists about this critical situation, which is very dangerous in Chapter nine, as it came without change or deletion, which ended with the confirmation of the riskiness of the agribusiness situation in Southeast Mediterranean Sea, especially to potential alleviate poverty in rural areas for climate change adaptation.
As a professor of agricultural economics specializing in providing solutions to the problems of the agricultural economy through the creation of mathematical models, in the tenth chapter, the author has provided a solution to the seriousness position of the agribusiness situation in Southeast Mediterranean Sea, especially to face future of sugarcane industry in Upper Egypt as a case study of agribusiness. This problem and how to decrease the risk of sugarcane production in the filling period of the Renaissance dam in Ethiopia and how to manage the sugarcane industry in Upper Egypt in that period with the lowest rate of risk and solution corresponds to that stage as described in the book. The outcome of the mathematical model was the potentiality of adaptation in the agricultural sector with 4that phase, increased sugarcane production to prevent famine in sugar, the potentiality of employing full agricultural employment in Upper Egypt, the potentiality of limiting carbon dioxide emissions, reducing pollution, and preserving the environment.
