Agricultural economics is one of the branches of general economics and they share the same goals, but the interest of agricultural economics is focused on the activities and activities of farmers and their well-being, and therefore it seeks to find appropriate solutions to agricultural problems. Agriculture cannot grow and develop without the development and growth of other economic activities. Agriculture is an integral part of the economic activities in the country and cannot be separated from those activities. Agriculture is subject to economic developments related to the movement of manufacturing and trade and the state of the country by the possibility of providing agriculture with what it needs of machinery, fertilizers and new innovations that agriculture requires for its development. Therefore, the field of agricultural economics is no longer limited to studying the management and organization of agriculture only as it was previously, but has extended to other economic topics and has become not much different from general economics in terms of studying internal and external markets and economic cycles and studying money, banks, finance, marketing services, taxes, prices, labor economics and other important economic topics that have become among the things that the agricultural economist needs to be familiar with and know their theories and effects and apply their principles to agriculture. Accordingly, we conclude that there is no significant difference between the objectives of agricultural economics and general economics, except that agricultural economics exceeds general economics in its focus on technical and applied agricultural sciences such as field crop science, soil science, animal husbandry science, engineering and agricultural mechanization, as it derives from these sciences the effective factors in improving agricultural production in terms of quantity and quality.
Monetary economics focuses on money supply, central banking, and inflation control, while industrial economics studies firm behavior, market structure, and production in various industries, with distinct tools and policy implications.
