Agriculture is a sector of utmost importance and sensitivity. In addition to producing food as the primary purpose, it also has an economic function. In the International Food and Agricultural Products Trade course, we examine the theoretical basis of agricultural trade among nations: Why do nations trade? What are the gains of nations from trade? At what prices do they trade (terms of trade)? - And, some related subjects (transportation costs, environmental standards, economic growth/development – trade interactions, and so on). We therefore analyse the agricultural product trade policies. Specifically, the course intends to equip students with knowledge and skills in marketing, export and import policy, international trade system and agriculture, difference between foreign trade and domestic trade, international trade and World Trade Organisation, and finally trade policy and food security.
