AGRICULTURE & FOOD · scores as of

Best Agriculture & Food stocks.

The theme: The food chain end to end — the fertilizer, seed and machinery that go into the ground, the growers and processors in the middle, and the packaged brands that reach the shelf. Yahoo splits these across six industries (Agricultural Inputs, Farm Products, Packaged Foods, Confectioners, Food Distribution and Farm Machinery), so no single industry view shows the chain that connects them.

How this ranking works

Standard classifications describe what a company files as, not what it's a bet on. This is a curated list of the Agriculture & Food names in our US universe: the pure-plays, plus the larger companies for which Agriculture & Food is a real, reported driver rather than a passing mention. Each carries the same 0–100 quality-growth score used everywhere on the site (how it's built), and re-scores every trading day.

The Agriculture & Food group at a glance

  • Confectioners1
  • Food Distribution1

What kind of businesses these are

Average pillar scores across the 20 scored members, against every stock the model scores:

PillarAgriculture & FoodMarketRead
Quality56.756.5in line
Growth46.758.812.1 below
Value49.644.84.8 above

Pillars run 0–100 against sector peers. A low Value reading means the group is expensive relative to what it earns, not that the businesses are weak — for an early-stage theme that is the normal shape.

Scores across the group run from CF at 73.2 down to GIS at 22.1, with a median of 48.8. A theme is a thesis, not a quality filter — membership says a company is exposed to Agriculture & Food, and the score says what the model makes of the business.
