Best Agriculture and Farming ETFs: Full List of Funds
Agriculture ETFs come in two distinct forms: futures-based funds that hold contracts on crops like wheat, corn, and soybeans, and equity-based funds that own shares of companies involved in farming, fertilizers, equipment, and food production. This structural difference shapes how each fund behaves and what kind of exposure it provides.
Several well-known agriculture and farming ETFs trade on U.S. and European exchanges:
- VanEck Agribusiness ETF (MOO) — launched in 2007, tracks the MVIS Global Agribusiness Index with roughly 52 holdings including Deere & Company and Nutrien. Companies must derive at least 50% of revenue from agribusiness.
- Invesco DB Agriculture Fund (DBA) — a futures-based fund tracking the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture Index across 10 commodity futures including wheat, corn, soybeans, sugar, coffee, live cattle, cocoa, lean hogs, cotton, and feeder cattle.
- iShares MSCI Agriculture Producers ETF (VEGI) — an equity fund replicating the MSCI ACWI Select Agriculture Producers Investable Market Index, covering farming, agricultural chemicals, and food-processing equipment globally.
- First Trust Indxx Global Agriculture ETF (FTAG) — established in 2010, holds approximately 50 stocks from the Indxx Global Agriculture Index including farmland companies, fertilizer producers, and machinery makers.
- Teucrium single-commodity ETFs (CORN, WEAT, SOYB, CANE) — targeted futures-based funds for corn, wheat, soybeans, and sugar, each holding contracts across multiple months rather than a single front-month approach.
Futures-based agriculture ETFs like DBA do not hold physical commodities — storage and spoilage make that impractical. Instead, they roll futures contracts forward, which means contango (when futures prices exceed spot prices) can create roll losses over time. Equity-based funds like MOO and VEGI avoid this issue entirely by holding stocks of agricultural companies directly.
