Professions in Agriculture that stem from an MSc degree get many students to consider working in education, government, agribusiness or even research. This entails working as agricultural scientists, agronomists, or researchers at universities, private corporations, ICAR or other government organizations. Agribusiness companies also employ graduates in supply chain management, marketing, and food production. Financial institutions and banks hire agricultural officers as well, particularly those with experience in extending credit to farmers. Other career options include government jobs in agricultural extensions services, rural development, and in environmental NGOs.
MSc Agriculture graduates can also venture into business in organic farming or agro presicion farming, or engage in consultancy on sustainable agriculture, irrigation management, or climate-smart agriculture. Employees in the private sector may be found in seed and fertilizer companies and in biotechnology firms. Some alternative employment is with higher educational institutions, universities and agriculture colleges. This industry is also increasingly benefiting from the latest technology and innovation which creates new jobs in agriculture such as analytics, AI, and precision agriculture.
