Food manufacturing involves all the processes used to market and distribute food products from the farm to the consumer.
Imagine your favorite chocolate bar. It doesn't just appear on store shelves. It goes through several steps - harvesting cocoa beans, processing them into chocolate, shaping it into bars, packaging them up, and finally shipping them out to stores. That's food manufacturing!
Supply chain: A network between a company and its suppliers to produce and distribute a specific product.
Agribusiness: Industries involved in the manufacture, distribution, marketing, sales and retailing of food products.
Value-added product: A product that has been improved or enhanced in some way so it's worth more than the raw materials used to make it.
