Sustainable Sustainable agroindustry is an important concept that is often cited by academics and practitioners in the field. However, its definition and underlying constructs are rarely discussed. This paper provides a review and summary of different frameworks that are used to define and understand sustainable agroindustry. This review is summarized and synthesized into a single conceptual framework of a business model for shaping sustainable agro-industry. The main concepts to be discussed are agro-industry, business models, and sustainability. The expected outcome of this single conceptual framework is for agro-industry development by identifying key elements of strategic initiatives for further research. The business model can support the realization of sustainable agro-industry by taking into account three aspects of the indicator namely economic, social and environmental. These three indicators must be met in creating a business model by taking into account aspects of the business model that includes value creation, value delivery and value capture. A single conceptual framework of business models for sustainable agro-industry can be created if three aspects of the business model can meet the three main indicators for sustainable agro-industry.
