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.
Few lists here hold as many value-classed names — 10 of 20 — which says the market is not charging much of a premium for the story attached to them.
