About Me

Howdy! My name is Manuel Garcia, and I am an agricultural economist passionate about providing innovative, data-driven solutions to help farmers and companies make informed decisions. My expertise lies in agricultural data analysis and visualization, enabling me to offer constructive insights that can improve decision-making processes. I believe that by leveraging data, we can develop effective solutions that enhance productivity, profitability, and sustainability in agriculture.

I serve as Assistant Professor and Extension Economist for the Department of Agricultural Economics of Texas A&M University and AgriLife Extension Service. Before that, I earned a PhD and Master's in Agricultural and Applied Economics from Texas Tech University and a Bachelor's in Agricultural Development and Environmental Sciences from Zamorano University in Honduras.

I am fluent in Spanish and English and proficient in Portuguese. During my professional career, I have contributed to several agribusiness analytics projects, consumer demand analysis, and agricultural extension and farm management programs.

As I launch my career journey, I always seek opportunities to collaborate in agricultural extension, farm management, and agribusiness projects.
