Is there an ETF for food commodities?

Yes, some ETFs track food commodity futures, such as Teucrium Corn Fund (NYSEMKT: CORN), Teucrium Soybean Fund (NYSEMKT: SOYB), and Teucrium Wheat Fund (NYSEMKT: WEAT). If you're looking for a more traditional stock ETF, there aren't any pure plays, though there are several that invest in agricultural companies.

How do I invest in food ETFs?

Investing in food ETFs is as easy as investing in stocks. You simply find the ticker of the ETF you want to buy, locate it in your brokerage account, and buy it.

Is there an ETF for plant-based food?

There is no plant-based ETF currently. The VegTech Food Innovation & Climate ETF closed in May 2025. The US Vegan Climate ETF (NYSEMKT: VEGN) invests in environmentally sustainable companies but not food stocks.

How are food ETFs affected by economic turmoil?

Food ETFs hold a range of stocks and can be affected by economic turmoil in multiple ways. Economic forces can raise commodity prices, make imports more expensive, or decrease demand. While food generally tends to be a recession-resistant category, individual stocks are still vulnerable to economic shocks.

Do food-related ETFs follow food indexes?

Yes, some food-related ETFs follow food indexes like the MVIS Global Agribusiness index. Typically, these indexes are not well known.

Can food ETFs provide dividends?

Yes, food ETFs typically provide dividends. The stocks that make up the ETFs, like packaged food and beverage stocks and agricultural stocks, mostly pay dividends.
