You can work as an agricultural extension officer, farm manager, crop or livestock production officer, research assistant, agribusiness officer or agricultural consultant. Career opportunities are available with the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, CSIR institutes, commercial farms, NGOs, input companies and international agricultural development programmes.
