Početkom šezdesetih godina 20. stoljeća na Agronomskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, osniva se Poljoprivredno-ekonomski odsjek za specijalističko obrazovanje agronoma područja agrarne ekonomike. Time se po prvi put na Fakultetu, ali i u Hrvatskoj, institucionalizira sveučilišno obrazovanje agrarnih ekonomista. U proteklim godinama došlo je do promjena u organizaciji studija i nastavnih programa, ali je „sačuvan“ kontinuitet obrazovanja stručnjaka tog područja. U članku se daje kronološki pregled broja upisanih i diplomiranih agronoma agrarnih ekonomista, obranjenih magistarskih radova („stari“ postdiplomski studij) i doktorskih disertacija od osnutka Fakulteta, odnosno Odsjeka. Istraživanje je pokazalo da je u proteklim godinama na Fakultetu bilo upisano više od 2700 studenata agroekonomskog usmjerenja, da je obranjeno 1039 diplomskih, 90 magistarskih radova i 71 doktorska disertacija......In the early 1960s Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zagreb founded Agricultural Economics Study for specialist education in the field of agricultural economics. The university education of agricultural economists was for the first time institutionalized at the Faculty, but also in Croatia. In recent years there have been changes in the organization of the study and curriculum, but the continuity of educating experts in this area is preserved. The article gives a chronological overview of the number of enrolled and graduated agronomists-agricultural economists, defended master's theses ("old" post-graduate study) and doctoral dissertations at the Faculty since the time of its establishment. Research has shown that over 2700 students in recent years enrolled in the Faculty, 1039 graduated, 90 students successfully defended master degrees and 71 PhD titles were awarded
