Focus and Scope

The Journal of Agricultural Socio-Economics (JASE) covers a wide range of topics in agricultural socio-economics and agribusiness. The journal publishes studies in agricultural and resource economics, agribusiness management (including marketing, finance, human resources, and strategy), and the socio-economic aspects of farming, fisheries, and livestock industries. It also welcomes research on food systems, food security, and sustainable agro-industries, as well as agricultural policy, governance, and institutional frameworks. In addition, JASE addresses rural sociology, community development, farmer livelihoods, and environmental and natural resource economics within agricultural contexts. Methodological contributions, including the application of statistics, econometrics, and data science in agricultural research, are also within the journal’s scope.

JASE prioritizes manuscripts that demonstrate strong empirical evidence, analytical depth, and clear contributions to agricultural socio-economic knowledge and policy. Submissions must explicitly relate to agricultural systems, rural economies, or agribusiness activities. Manuscripts focusing primarily on general economics, business, or marketing without a clear agricultural linkage, or those presenting generic socio-economic discussions without a specific agricultural context, will not be prioritized.

The journal emphasizes rigorous and data-driven research approaches. Quantitative and mixed-methods studies are strongly encouraged, including those employing econometric, statistical, and advanced analytical techniques. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using structured, reproducible methods is also welcome. Qualitative research will only be considered if it provides strong theoretical contributions, deep analytical insights, and clear conceptual or model development. Purely descriptive qualitative studies or those lacking analytical rigor and scientific contribution are not prioritized.

All manuscripts must demonstrate novelty, analytical robustness, and relevance to agricultural socio-economics, as well as offer clear policy and/or practical implications. Submissions that do not maintain a clear agribusiness or agricultural orientation will be considered outside the scope of the journal.
