It proposed a comprehensive business plan targeting specific problems with detailed strategies, cost estimates, and potential outcomes. Descriptive surveys are crucial in agribusiness research, providing detailed insights into agricultural practices and factors affecting productivity within a specific population. These surveys utilize statistical tools such as frequency percentage and weighted mean to accurately depict response distribution and measure the significance of variables. Synthesizing findings and ensuring proper citation and definition of terms in research helps draw meaningful conclusions and contribute to a broader understanding of agribusiness practices in the region. Incorporating literature demands a structured approach, starting with an introduction highlighting the topic's significance, organizing sources thematically or chronologically, and synthesizing findings while ensuring proper citation and defining terms for clarity. Descriptive surveys in agribusiness employed tools like frequency percentage to depict response distribution and weighted mean to gauge variable significance, offering precise insights into agricultural practices and factors affecting productivity within the surveyed population.
