By investing in these equities, shareholders gain exposure to the global food‐supply chain, with performance driven by commodity prices, weather conditions, technological advances, and government policies. While they can provide diversification benefits, agriculture stocks also carry risks tied to climate variability, pest outbreaks, and regulatory changes. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Agriculture stocks within the last several days.
