agriconsult ab was a Swedish consulting and engineering company operating internationally and specializing in the planning and design of facilities for the production, storage, handling and processing of agricultural commodities. The Headquarter was located in Malmo, Sweden.

Activities covered virtually all major stages of agricultural processing from the field to finished foods and consumer products.

agriconsult was an independent consulting firm with no obligations to any manufacturers of equipment or building contractors. It was a member of the Swedish Association of Consulting Engineers, which is affiliated to the International Association of Consulting Engineers, FIDIC.
agriconsult was also a member of the Swedish Consulting Group, SWECO, formed to render complete services for complex urban and regional projects. The SWECO technical staff numbered more than 2 000 employees. 

Depending on workload the staff numbered 75-140 persons, including civil, mechanical, electrical, agricultural and processing engineers, also comprising engineers for building services and architects.

Tore Olbjer, Civil engineer (MSc) and Managing Director, founded agriconsult in 1962 together with seven colleagues.

The other founders/co-owners were:
Gunnar Akne, Electrical engineer
Birger Johansson, Civil engineer
Yngve Lindberg, Civil engineer (MSc)
Göte Mårtensson, Civil Engineer (MSc)
Hans-Ewald Pedersen, Civil Engineer
Arne Pettersson, Civil Engineer
Carl Rånnfelt, Agricultural Engineer (MS)

Tore Olbjer resigned as Managing Director 1981. The company, at that time partly owned by VBB, was later taken over completely by VBB (now, 2008, SWECOVBB). - In 1986, agriconsult was liquidated. A special group, within VBB, was founded to continue consulting within the agricultural fields and to finalize agriconsults ongoing projects.

agriconsult was during its time one of the only independent consulting group in the world fully integrated for the planning and design of plants for handling, storage and processing of agricultural products at all levels.
