The Center of Innovation for Agribusiness provides the technical industry expertise, collaborative research and partnerships to help the industry connect, compete and grow globally.

As Georgia’s leading industry, agribusiness represents more than $75 billion in total economic impact and employs more than 375,000. Georgia leads the nation in the production of poultry-related products, pecans, peanuts and blueberries and is home to two agricultural research universities in Fort Valley State University and the University of Georgia. Major agricultural equipment manufacturers have operations in Georgia and the state has benefited greatly from a robust agritourism market. With focus areas in emerging and novel crops, food business development, and precision agriculture, the Center supports Georgia’s agriculture industry and enables companies to access high-growth opportunities for increased success.
