Strategic Management for Agribusiness

The agricultural and agri-food sector is undergoing a period of transformation, driven by new guidelines that reinforce the need for sustainability, technological innovation, and global competitiveness. To ensure growth and adaptation to this dynamic environment, managers and professionals in agribusiness must develop strategic management skills.

The Strategic Agribusiness Management program is an intensive course that combines theoretical knowledge with a strong practical component. It addresses the challenges and opportunities of the main agri-food value chains in Portugal, equipping participants to make strategic and sustainable decisions.

The in-person format includes interactive sessions (with the possibility of online participation) and field visits to leading agricultural and agro-industrial operations. The faculty is composed of industry experts, ensuring learning aligned with the latest market trends and demands.

Throughout the program, participants will also have the opportunity to engage in roundtable discussions with industry leaders, fostering insightful debate on critical agribusiness topics and providing a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective of the sector.
