In almost two-thirds of Georgia's counties, agribusiness and directly related industries are the largest or second-largest economic engines. This massive, complex business has invested and created for itself a voice in the public arena. This voice is the Georgia Agribusiness Council. The Georgia Agribusiness Council is the organization which provides a forum for the entire agricultural industry to
share views, develop understanding and work on issues of common concern. The GAC Mission is carried through a Program of Work which addresses six primary objectives:
1. To represent the agribusiness industry in the legislative arena.
2. To provide economic services to members.
3. To promote agribusiness development.
4. To build coalitions within the agricultural community.
5. To educate the public about agribusiness issues.
6. To promote agricultural education through elementary, secondary, college, and adult programs.
