UPAEC’s history took root during the second semester of 1975 - 1976. During that time, there was a growing concern felt among Agricultural Economics majors to revive the defunct Agricultural Economics Society. Then, on December 10 1975, thirty-two Agricultural Economics major students decided to adopt the name UP Agricultural Economics Circle.
Since its establishment in 1975, UPAEC has come a long way. It has become more active and responsive to the needs of its constituents and the academe; and lives up to its name as an academic organization.
