AgriBusiness Global Highlights New U.S. Ag Retail Rankings Released by Sister Brand CropLife

AgriBusiness Global Staff By AgriBusiness Global Staff|7 December 2025

AgriBusiness Global is pleased to spotlight the release of the 2025 CropLife 100, the annual ranking published by our sister brand, CropLife, which identifies the largest ag retail companies in the U.S. Now in its 42nd year, the CropLife 100 remains the most authoritative benchmark of U.S. ag retail performance and offers valuable context for global crop input and distribution stakeholders.

Although the ranking is U.S.-focused, many of the trends reflected in the 2025 list echo developments occurring across international markets — including consolidation among full-service retailers, expansion of digital agronomy platforms, and intensifying interest in sustainable nutrient management.

At the top of the list, Nutrien Ag Solutions once again secures the No. 1 position. Its scale, digital ecosystem, and agronomic expertise continue to influence ag retail strategies worldwide, making it a particularly relevant case study for global distributors and service providers.

The list also highlights regional leaders such as GreenPoint Ag (No. 6), whose strategic partnerships and rapid growth illustrate how regional retailers can scale efficiently — a model increasingly mirrored in developing and mature markets outside the U.S.

Further down the ranking, companies like Star of the West Milling (No. 42) shed light on the rising importance of vertically integrated grain and retail operations, a structure gaining traction globally as supply-chain resilience becomes a priority. Mercer Landmark (No. 75) demonstrates practical and profitable adoption of digital tools, reflecting a universal challenge among retailers seeking to separate high-value ag technologies from short-lived trends.
