My research interests encompass a broad range of topics within Agricultural Economics, including agricultural markets, supply and demand analysis, food security, rural development, and environmental sustainability. I have a track record of successfully conducting independent research projects, designing surveys, collecting data, and applying robust economic frameworks to analyze complex agricultural systems.

In addition to my research capabilities, I am adept at collaborating with interdisciplinary teams and stakeholders to address pressing agricultural challenges. I possess excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, enabling me to effectively convey research findings and policy implications to diverse audiences, including policymakers, fellow researchers, and industry professionals.
