Farming, market gardening, viticulture..., each agricultural sector offers a range of varied jobs.
Whether in production, consulting or sales, there are always opportunities.
Here are some profiles, new or old, that are increasingly in demand.
Agricultural Advisor
From Bac+2 to Bac+5, the agricultural advisor bases their work on precise analyses of the farm. These analyses allow them to develop a project (estimated cost, objectives, schedule of operations...).
They may specialize in a field (agricultural machinery, irrigation, seed selection).
In all cases, they must be at the forefront of agricultural information, both technical and regulatory.
Excellent command of French is essential and another Moroccan language (Tarifit, Tachelhit and Tamazight) is an asset.
Quality System Manager or Controller
Trained as an engineer in the agri-food industry or quality management, their role is to control the manufacturing process from raw material to finished product, including storage.
They carry out tests, enforce hygiene and safety rules, and advise the various actors in the production chain.
Mastery of current quality standards, particularly ISO 22000, is essential.
Buyer in the Agri-Food Industry
Their mission is to negotiate the raw materials (cereals, fruits, etc.) that the agri-food company needs to manufacture biscuits, charcuterie, ready-made meals, etc.
They select suppliers and products based on criteria of quality, delivery times, price, etc. They help processing companies obtain products that best meet their needs.
While some Bac+2 level diplomas may be suitable, such as BTSA agri-food industries or technical sales in food products or DUT biological engineering, food and biological industries option, or DUT marketing techniques, a Bac+5 is often required.
Agronomist Engineer
With a Bac+5 degree, the agronomist engineer participates in the development of action programs, carries out studies and research on the various production factors and advises farmers and livestock farmers.
Genetics, nutrition, human and animal food, microbiology or virology... Whatever their specialty, the agronomist engineer pursues one and the same objective: to improve production techniques to develop a competitive, sustainable and safe agriculture. A mediator between science and the agricultural world, they can work, for example, on improving the resistance of a cereal or creating a new agricultural machine.
Horticulture Technician
They ensure the proper development of the crops under their care. Outdoors or in greenhouses, they sow, monitor, water, treat and prune plants before they are offered for sale. In contact with customers, they advise them on their purchases.
