Agriculture has been the oldest occupation on earth. Since the arrival of technology, civilization and modernization, many people have opted out of the farming business to pursue “white-collar” jobs.
They now look down on agriculture as a primitive career, seeing farmers as those predestined to always remain poor. Parents do not agree with their children studying Agriculture or going into farming business. They want a medical doctor, engineer, lawyer or accountant as a son/daughter but not a FARMER.

3. SENATOR BLAIRO MAGGI – $1.15bn


Blairo Maggi is the son of late Brazilian agribusiness mogul Andre Maggi, who founded Andre Maggi Group, the world’s largest private soybean producer. Prior to China’s massive appetite for soy, Maggi’s ever-expanding acreage meant more supply and more supply meant lower soy prices. Luckily for all involved, China demand was greater than the Maggi-led Brazilian soy boom. Since the 1990s, Maggi helped turn Brazil into the second largest soy producer in the world after the U.S.



2. HARRY STINE – $3.4bn


Stine grew up on his father’s hardscrabble farm outside of Des Moines and began dabbling in seed breeding in the 1960s.Dyslexic and mildly autistic, but a savant with math and data, Stine quietly built some of the most genetically robust and highest-yielding soybean seeds in the industry. He now owns STINE SEED, the largest private seed company in the world and the developer of some of the most valuable agricultural products on earth.



[b]1. LIU YONGHAO – $4.4bn

[/b]Mr. Liu and his three brothers quit their government jobs in 1982, selling their watches and bicycles to raise the equivalent of $US150 in start up capital in the countryside of Sichuan province.
