Agriculture Stocks: Weekly Performance Overview (November 17–21, 2025)
The agriculture equities sector ended the week with a broadly weaker performance as many crop input, fertilizer, and machinery companies faced sell-offs. Market sentiment softened across global equities, and several AgTech and controlled-environment agriculture operators also continued to see pressure.
John Deere advanced +2.01%, continuing its steady upward trajectory, while AGCO rose +1.78% as equipment manufacturers showed selective strength. Lindsay Corporation also gained +2.45%, supported by an improved outlook for irrigation system demand.
Corteva slipped -1.22% after the prior week’s gains as traders consolidated positions. Nutrien fell -4.65% as fertilizer pricing trends weighed on sector expectations, while CNH Industrial declined -3.00%.
Bayer AG ended the week down -2.84% despite announcing a new proof-of-concept partnership with FA Bio aimed at advancing fungal bioinsecticides for oilseed rape. DuPont also moved lower, closing the week down -2.82%.
Input Producers Record Steeper Declines
Fertilizer and nitrogen producers led the week’s losses.
Mosaic dropped -6.75% while CF Industries posted a -7.17% decline, reflecting pressure across nitrogen markets. FMC fell -6.87%, continuing its multi-month volatility as crop protection markets remained challenging.
UPL slipped -2.39% on the NSE/BSE, while Farmland Partners ended -1.34% despite recently raising its 2025 AFFO guidance.
Controlled Environment and AgTech Stocks Show Mixed Movement
Among controlled-environment agriculture operators and smaller-cap AgTech companies, performance was mixed.
Edible Garden fell -10.16% following its third-quarter earnings update, which highlighted early progress in its transition toward a CPG-focused model but did not offset market concerns. Local Bounti posted a small gain of +0.85%, stabilizing after prior declines.
Planet Labs was nearly flat (+0.09%), while Agroz gained +3.41%, rebounding after a sharp drop the previous week.
Bunge Global SA traded slightly lower (-0.20%), remaining relatively stable despite broader market softness.
Machinery and Technology Providers Show Select Strength
Kubota was one of the stronger performers this week, rising +2.78% after Kilter announced a European pilot of the AX-1 precision weeding robot using Kubota’s platform. The news contributed to optimism in the precision agriculture equipment segment.
John Deere and AGCO also posted gains, suggesting resilience among major machinery manufacturers compared to the weakness seen in fertilizer and crop protection companies.
