hire agronomists in africa

Companies hire an agronomist when yields fall short, a new crop or site is being launched, or buyers start asking for certified production. A good agronomist reads the field accurately, gets farmers and teams to apply the advice and turns it into measurable gains in yield and quality.

A few questions, one at a time, then pick a time for a free 30-minute strategy call with our team.

What to check when screening

  • Check which crops and agro-ecological zones they have worked in.
  • Ask for a field trial or crop plan they designed and the results it gave.
  • If you export, look for experience with schemes such as GlobalG.A.P. or organic standards.
  • Check they can explain technical advice simply to farmers and field staff.

Questions to ask in interview

  • Yields on one block dropped this season. How do you find the cause?
  • How would you cut fertiliser costs without hurting yields?
  • Tell me about a farmer or team who would not follow your advice. What did you do?
