Aspiring agribusiness technicians should obtain experience (internships, volunteering, employment) in agriculture and business to prepare for the field.
You must work well with others, including delegating responsibility and establishing friendly relations with farmers, laborers, and company managers. You must be able to analyze management problems and make sound decisions based on your analysis. You must have excellent oral and written communication skills: Technicians are expected to present written and oral reports, offer comments and advice clearly, and, when necessary, train other workers for a particular job.
