Career prospects in Agri-Business
Overview about Agri-Business:
A number of retail players are getting into packaged food, fresh produce, and dairy products. They are making a beeline for various agricultural universities and specialised educational institutions to hire fresh graduates. Graduates with technical knowledge on Agri-sourcing are the most preferred ones as retailers look to streamline the procurement of produce, ensure quality and have an efficient back-end.
The new recruits bring with them knowledge of the segments; retailers are training them to understand and integrate the backend with the front-end of retailing. Additionally, understanding price movements of commodities and the vagaries of the business are of utmost importance to them. It is not that retailers are just picking up fresh graduates from universities and putting them straight into jobs. They are also training them to understand the functioning of local Agri bodies, consolidators and farmer communities, thus, helping them align their classroom learning with the technical know-how retailers have acquired from running operations. Over the last three years, job opportunities for people with an agricultural background have multiplied in this sector. Apart from knowing how to source commodities, the professionals are required to have a good understanding of category management. Given their technical background, they play an important role in ensuring an efficient back-end.
Who’s hiring: Some active recruiters are
· Reliance Fresh
· Subhiksha
· Wal-Mart
· Spencer’s
· Food Bazaar and
· Spinach.
Who’re they hiring: MBAs (Agri Business), Graduates and Postgraduates in Agriculture. Graduates in Science and related subjects and B.Techs in Agriculture Engineering are also in demand.
At what levels: At all levels. Junior, middle (with six or more years of experience), and senior level (10 or more years of work experience). There’s greater demand for entry level/senior executives.
Remuneration:
· Rs.4-6 lakh p.a. at junior levels;
· Rs.8-10 lakh p.a. at middle levels; and
· Rs.30-50 lakh p.a. plus perks and other benefits at senior levels.
