Meaning of Agro-allied Industries
The term agro-allied industries refers to industries that make use of agricultural produce or products as raw material to produce other finished products. It also refers to the produce that the farmers use as an input in the farm.
The continuous existence of these industries is made possible through the raw material derived from agriculture. These industries help to;
provide market for agricultural products;
provide employment opportunities;
generate income for the government;
influence or enhance development of rural areas;
Agro-allied Industries and their Raw Materials
The following industries make use of agricultural produce or products as raw materials:

Industries that Produce Farm Inputs
Some of the industries that produce farm inputs are:
Fertilizer industries, e.g. NAFCON
Agro-chemical industries
Machine/tools industries
Vaccine industries
Drug making (pharmaceutical industries)
Fabrication workshops
Relationship between Agriculture and Industries
Agriculture and industry have a strong relationship and these include the following:
1. Agriculture is the major source of raw materials for agro-based industries,while agro-based
industries provide ready market for agricultural products such as cocoa, cotton, latex, hides and
skin, palm produce, etc
2. Agriculture provides market for industries such as agro-chemicals, vaccines, drugs, fertilizers
and farm machinery, industries on the other hand, supply agriculture inputs.
3. Through agricultural development we can be able to shift from factors of production such as
land, capital, and labour to industries.
4. Industries create employment opportunities for the farmer’s children while the farming community also supplies labour to the industries.
5. Agro-based industries help to provide processing/storage facilities for agricultural sector to prevent wastage such as silos, grinders, and shellers.
6. Development of agriculture is facilitated by the presence of raw materials in an area .this transforms rural communities in terms of social amenities.
7. Due to industrial development agriculture is now made easy through fabrication of energy saving tools and machinery provided by industries.such tools and machinery include cutlasses, hoes, ploughs, tractors, etc.
8. Labour is competed for by both agriculture and industries. Industrial development leads to rural development and enhances agricultural development.
