factors of production/input


Explanation:
According to Eurodictum, "a resource essential for production,fundamentally land,labour and capital,plus the entrepreneur." I also found it under Kudos (Apr 22 '01) as input but I think that factors of production is more what you're looking for. Good luck!

agricultural raw materials


Explanation:
intrant is an old word (1950) created in order to translate 'input' which is mainly used in official documents and in Québec, in Fr everybody says 'input' (economics) but in an agricultural framework it is a synonymous of "matières premières" who are provided to the farmers.
