Employment Opportunities / Market Demand / Market Trends

Production processes in the food industry that use agricultural products as raw materials continue to develop in both production types and product quality. The industry is moving toward more complex production systems and related sectors, such as ready-to-eat food manufacturing.

The growth of export-oriented agro-industries requires entrepreneurs to compete in the global market. As a result, there is a need to improve production efficiency, increase output, and enhance the quality of agricultural products in order to maintain and strengthen the competitiveness of exported agricultural and agro-industrial products.

Agricultural technical officers therefore play an important role in supporting these processes and are expected to be in demand in the labor market.
