This qualification recognises the technical and managerial knowledge and skills required by people who are currently in, or wish to undertake a managerial role in, an agribusiness. It builds on the knowledge and skills recognised by the National Certificate in Agriculture with strands in Production Management, Business Planning, Physical Resource Management, Taxation and Risk Management, Capital Management, and Financial Planning, although that qualification is not a prerequisite.

People awarded this qualification are able to develop a business plan, manage risk and capital, identify and manage data, establish policy, and develop and monitor a financial plan for an agribusiness. They have demonstrated knowledge of taxation, physical resources and financial planning, investment and performance analysis, ownership, tenure, and estate planning, the effects of market forces, and legal requirements for an agribusiness.

The intention of the elective section is to allow individuals to gain credit for the production management unit standards relating to their agribusiness. In the agricultural sector Unit 11849, Develop, implement and monitor an agricultural management action plan to achieve production targets, Unit 11850, Identify and analyse advanced farming production systems, and Unit 11851, Prepare implement and monitor a feed budget to meet target production levels, are options that would meet the intent of this section though further credits would be required. It is strongly recommended that people consider the inclusion of the unit standards relating to safety in a farming situation, particularly Unit 11852, Identify farm hazards, develop a plan to eliminate, isolate or minimise, and record hazards, although this unit standard is not compulsory.
