This sector of the economy went through many changes and will continue to evolve in the future. For this reason, there is a need for prospective managers to be abreast with the developments in the agribusiness and related sectors. Graduates must be able to cope well with the dynamic nature of agribusiness. BSABME will combine management/ business courses with technical courses with emphasis on the uniqueness of agribusiness. Students will be trained on decision-making given managerial challenges.
