    Overview

    Agricultural economists maximize profitability in agriculture to the benefit of society through studying and analysing the aspects that influence the agricultural economy and distribution of resources, such as land, raw materials, labour and machinery. Agricultural economists advise the agricultural sector on issues such as financing, marketing, agricultural development, policy, research and production. Agricultural economists are well-placed to meet these challenges and to work with governments to develop agricultural policies to promote income growth in poor areas. Agricultural economists' knowledge of the macroeconomic variables, such as inflation, exchange rates, interest rates, puts them in a position to identify the effects of various macroeconomic policies on the food and fibre industry, and eventually on the whole population.

    Overview

    Agricultural economists maximize profitability in agriculture to the benefit of society through studying and analysing the aspects that influence the agricultural economy and distribution of resources, such as land, raw materials, labour and machinery. Agricultural economists advise the agricultural sector on issues such as financing, marketing, agricultural development, policy, research and production. Agricultural economists are well-placed to meet these challenges and to work with governments to develop agricultural policies to promote income growth in poor areas. Agricultural economists' knowledge of the macroeconomic variables, such as inflation, exchange rates, interest rates, puts them in a position to identify the effects of various macroeconomic policies on the food and fibre industry, and eventually on the whole population.
