Program overview
A two year diploma in the commercial side of agriculture, covering farm business management, agricultural marketing and sales, commodity markets, finance and risk, agronomy fundamentals and the supply chains that move food from field to buyer.
AgriCommerce is the trading and business major within agricultural management, and it suits students who want to work with producers rather than on the land itself. Grain marketing, input sales, lending and commodity roles all sit downstream of this diploma, and the Alberta agricultural economy that surrounds the campus is where those jobs actually are.
The CIP code recorded for Agricultural Management, AgriCommerce is 01.0101, which appears on the agriculture and agri-food eligible field of study list, so the programme meets the field of study requirement. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Agricultural Management, AgriCommerce with a partner should plan on a single income.
