Phase I - Analysis
Agro Industries representing the
industrialized production of half-finished or
finished products based on agricultural or
horticultural raw material. This raw material
is able to grow and to reproduce
themselves – the essential definition of live.
10.12.2011 No. 6© Festo Didactic GmbH & Co. KG Agro Industries – UNIDO Report
• high-income countries add US$ 180 of
value
by processing of one ton of agricultural
products, developing countries only US$
40
• in high-income countries 98% of
agricultural
production undergoes industrial
processing,
in developing countries barely 30% even
40 to 60% of the manufacturing value in
these countries is generated by agro-
industries.

Phase 2 – Industrial Demands
We conducted an
international market
survey in 215 com-
panies in 14
countries to evaluate
the spe-cific needs
and re-quirements of
the Industry. 42% of
our interview
partners came from
the area of Agro
