Open your Chrome devtools, and navigate to a tab called Properties. See the screenshot below.

In that tab, see if there is a property called value. I think you will be able to see the text that you want to verify CGS-AGRIBUSINESS in that value.

Now to retrieve the text from the value attribute, just use the getAttribute method to get the attribute value.

Here is a rough syntax

driver.findElement(your_xpath_or_any_locator_here).getAttribute('value')

This has already been explained in this SO question.
