Background of the Study
Strategic planning plays a vital role in achieving business sustainability, particularly in the agro-business sector, where long-term success depends on effective resource management and adaptability to environmental and market changes (Gonzalez & Smith, 2023). In Plateau State, agro-businesses contribute significantly to the economy by providing food, employment, and raw materials for industries.
However, many agro-businesses in the region face sustainability challenges, including climate change, market volatility, and inadequate planning. Strategic planning offers a framework for addressing these issues by aligning business goals with environmental, social, and economic priorities (Eze & Omotayo, 2024). This study investigates the relationship between strategic planning and business sustainability among agro-businesses in Plateau State, providing insights into best practices for long-term success.
Statement of the Problem
Agro-businesses in Plateau State face numerous sustainability challenges, such as unpredictable weather patterns, limited access to credit, and inefficient resource use. Despite the potential of strategic planning to mitigate these challenges, many businesses lack the capacity or knowledge to implement effective plans (Abubakar & Bello, 2023).
Existing studies have explored strategic planning in various industries but have not adequately addressed its impact on business sustainability in the agro-business sector of Plateau State. This gap hinders the development of tailored strategies to enhance sustainability in the region.
