About Us
Hub for Smallholders’ Agri-Tech Economics (HSATE) is an academic and research lab at Department of Agricultural Economics in Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. The key contact person is Dr. A. K. M. Abdullah Al-Amin, working on the staff of Bangladesh Agricultural University as an Associate Professor.
This research hub primarily concentrates on the economics of agricultural intensification solutions. The prime focus is to guide smallholder farms with evidence-based policy suggestions. Broadly the hub also focuses on large scale and medium scale agricultural economies to link lessons for smallholder farming context.
The research methods range from qualitative to quantitative approaches centric to economic modelling and econometric analyses to answer cutting-edge research questions. The evidence-based guidelines consider production goals of productivity and profitability, and environmental goal of limiting environmental footprint. Research extends to agri-tech economics, precision conservation and farming, and environmental economics.

The vision of the hub is to facilitate sustainable intensification solutions in agriculture with perspective
opinions and evidence based policy guidelines.
The hub’s mission is to develop human capital through cutting-edge academic and research in the field
of agricultural and environmental economics.
The broad objective of this hub is to work collaboratively with students, academics, researchers,
agribusiness innovators, and policymakers to generate and disseminate knowledge in agricultural and
environmental economics to better serve the world.
