Purpose: This paper explains the concept of agribusiness parks, a concept aimed improving sustainability and logistic efficiency of agro-food production through alternative spatial design: clustering of different agro-activities along voluminous (by-)products flows and along fresh primary products. The focus of this paper is on the role of scientific research to facilitate the practical realization of agribusiness parks.

Methodology/approach: Clustering of different activities in fresh production chains as well as clustering of different production chains sets conditions for increasing production efficiency and sustainability. Potential merits are reduction of transport, increasing product quality and new opportunities for utilization of rest products. In order to assess the merits quantitatively, a cluster simulation model system has been developed. This numerical model connects inputs and outputs of various (agro-)activities, estimates investments and financial results and predicts sustainability effects (including bio-energy production and CO₂ emission reduction potentials.

Findings: The modeling system proves very valuable in practical agribusiness park development initiatives. Through the model, choices to be made by entrepreneurs can be quickly evaluated. This partly eliminates uncertainty of entrepreneurs due to mutual dependency of the parties in agribusiness park development. The model is parameterized based on various data found in literature and other public sources. Results compare well to more precise estimations made by system engineers during detail-engineering phases.

Practical implications: The models has (in various variants) been used for different agribusiness park initiatives. It proves very valuable to the process of decision taking by the entrepreneurs. In order to improve re-usability a new version will be developed in a generic modeling system environment.
