The Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness provides students with a comprehensive understanding of how economic principles and business practices intertwine within the agricultural sector. Covering essential topics such as micro and macroeconomics, farm and agribusiness management, agricultural marketing, resource and environmental economics, and agricultural policy analysis, students explore supply chain dynamics, market trends, price determination, and the impact of national and international policies on agricultural production and trade. This prepares them to analyze and address real-world economic challenges in agriculture.

A key component of the program is hands-on learning, including case studies, field visits, internships, and research projects that enhance analytical and problem-solving skills. Students learn to develop business plans, conduct market research, manage agribusiness operations, and utilize data-driven decision-making approaches. The curriculum also emphasizes entrepreneurship and innovation, encouraging students to identify opportunities in value addition, agro-processing, and sustainable agribusiness ventures that promote economic growth and job creation.

Graduates are equipped for diverse careers in agribusiness firms, financial institutions, government agencies, research organizations, development initiatives, and NGOs. They can become agricultural economists, agribusiness managers, policy analysts, market researchers, or consultants supporting agricultural development and rural communities. The program also provides a robust foundation for further studies in agricultural economics, agribusiness, or related fields, empowering graduates to lead impactful changes in agriculture and the food industry.

Upon completing the Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness, graduates will have a strong understanding of economic theories, analytical tools, and business management principles as they relate to agriculture and rural development. They will be able to analyze market trends, assess agricultural policies, and apply both quantitative and qualitative methods to address complex economic and managerial challenges in the agricultural sector. Students will gain practical skills in financial planning, agribusiness management, marketing strategies, and resource allocation, enabling them to develop and implement solutions that improve productivity, profitability, and sustainability across agricultural value chains.

Besides technical skills, graduates will build strong problem-solving, research, and communication abilities, preparing them to work effectively with farmers, agribusiness entrepreneurs, policymakers, and other stakeholders. They will be equipped to promote innovative agribusiness ventures, support evidence-based policy development, and contribute to rural economic growth and food security efforts. This broad skill set will allow graduates to adapt to changing market conditions and assume leadership roles in advancing sustainable development within the agricultural and agribusiness sectors.
