Agrekon publishes scholarly articles that contribute to the existing literature in the domain of Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics as it applies to Southern Africa. The editors of Agrekon therefore invite contributions in this context that provide new insights, either through the problems they address, the methods they employ or the theoretical and practical insights gained from the results. The quarterly journal serves as the official publication of the Agricultural Economics Association of South Africa (AEASA) and is published by Taylor & Francis.
The objectives of AEASA and the journal are to promote research, debate, policy, and practice regarding agricultural economics and to promote the application of scientific principles in order to solve agricultural, rural and relevant national problems in Southern Africa. Agrekon also aims to promote the interests of and improve liaison between agricultural economists at regional, national and international levels. High-quality contributions that advance studies in these areas are welcome.
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. Agrekon is a double blind peer-reviewed journal and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
Agrekon is abstracted and/or indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, and the Chartered Association of Business Schools UK (ABS Guide). The journal is accredited by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET).
