Abstract

This article provides an in-depth examination of the investment process within the agricultural sector, focusing on A Birlik, a significant agricultural enterprise in the Thrace region. The study explores how A Birlik makes investment decisions, the types of investments it undertakes, and the impact of these investments on its operations and sustainability. A critical component of this research is the role of agricultural investment accounting in enabling A Birlik to make informed financial decisions, accurately evaluate investment feasibility, and optimize resource allocation for long-term economic and environmental sustainability. The research also considers how geographical conditions, technological developments, market dynamics, and competition influence agribusiness investment decisions. The findings from this study aim to enrich the existing literature on agricultural investments and offer valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders in the agricultural sector. The article underscores the need for continuous adaptation and innovation in business practices within the agricultural sector.
