Agriculture

Primary industries are significant components of the economy in the Waikato region and are home to a strong agriculture sector that powers both the local and national economy.

Studying agribusiness opens plenty of opportunities to create an exciting career. Our programme may be suitable for those looking to get started in dairy, sheep, beef, or horticulture and is ideal for farm managers, growers, or owners wanting to advance in agribusiness management.

Students focus their learning on a variety of agriculture areas, such as day-to-day management of pastures, feed budgeting, mating, milk harvesting, and benchmarking, as well as agribusiness components like staffing, financial, and environmental management.
