Building ETC’s 2022 ‘Food Barons’, GRAIN and ETC have released an updated report on the state of corporate concentration in food and farming in 2025.

Key findings from the 2025 ETC and Grain report ‘Top 10 Agribusiness giants’ (Image source: grain.org, 2025).

The report examines six sectors – commercial seeds, pesticides, synthetic fertilisers, farm machinery, animal pharmaceuticals and livestock genetics – and finds consolidation of corporate power has increased across all of them.

The report warns about the dangers of this consolidation, from lobbying politicians and influencing market prices, to disrupting scientific research.
