Valuation of the Agriculture and Forestry Industry

Weekly Corporate Growth Report, Jan 24, 2005 by Dolbeck, Andrew

Outlook

The agriculture and forestry industry provides base materials for a wide range of markets. The food, paper, packaging, lumber, and construction industries all generate demand for agricultural and forestry products. With such a broad range of support, the industry will likely remain profitable as long as the economy continues to remain healthy. Because the industry operates on a global scale, it remains subject to changes in international politics and worldwide economics, which can make its future difficult to predict.
