Book launched to showcase agricultural economics in SA

Prof Nick Vink, chair of the department of agricultural economics at Stellenbosch University, said the book celebrated the growth and achievements of AEASA – and was also “a launch pad of where we are going in the future."

The publication showcases the role of agricultural economists in the private, semi-governmental and public sectors. It serves as a useful guide for those who wish to gain insights into the workings of agricultural economics in a non-academic setting.

It also highlights the importance of agricultural economics in South Africa and makes the field more visible to a wider audience.
