The employment situation of agronomy major, give an answer! thank you

China is a big agricultural country, with low cultural quality of farmers, but few agricultural technicians and managers at the grass-roots level, which is the potential of talent demand. However, in recent years, graduates of this major are afraid of hardship, high risk and low treatment, and are unwilling to work at the grassroots level; At the same time, many agricultural units also refused to accept graduates for reasons such as insufficient funds and full staff. These reasons make it difficult for agricultural graduates to find jobs at present. The high investment and low output in agriculture lead to the current recession of agriculture-related industries, which makes the treatment of agricultural graduates generally lower than that of other majors.

With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, people no longer pay attention to the quantity of food, but pay more attention to its quality. The high demand for food "quality" will undoubtedly increase the quality requirements for crops; And the national "agriculture-oriented" policy is gradually implemented, which will greatly improve the status of personnel in agronomy-related industries. In this case, agronomy specialty will become increasingly important. Therefore, the author made this investigation report according to the characteristics of agronomy specialty and its employment prospect, hoping to play a guiding role in the employment of agronomy graduates in the future.

Employment Status, Direction and Prospect of Agronomy Major

(1) Employment Status of Agronomy Major

In recent years, graduates of this major are afraid of hardship, high risk and low pay, and are unwilling to work at the grassroots level; At the same time, many agricultural units also refused to accept graduates for reasons such as insufficient funds and full staff. These reasons make it difficult for agricultural graduates to find jobs at present. The high investment and low output in agriculture lead to the current recession of agriculture-related industries, which makes the treatment of agricultural graduates generally lower than that of other majors.

In recent years, the primary employment rate of graduates has decreased, while the percentage of postgraduate entrance examination has increased greatly. Take the employment situation of agricultural graduates in China Agricultural University in recent years as an example: the employment percentage of graduates in 1997 is 76.8%, and the proportion of graduates admitted to graduate school is 7.1%; In 1998, the former was 64.7% and the latter was 12.6%; In 1999, the former was 67.9% and the latter was 13.6%; in 2, the former was 44.1% and the latter was 28.8%. It is not difficult to see that it will be a popular choice for graduates of this major to take postgraduate examinations in the future. Among the employed graduates, most of them are employed in scientific research institutes or seed companies, accounting for 13.5% and 11.9% respectively, accounting for 57.6% of the total number of people employed at one time.

However, with the change of society's concept of agriculture and agricultural colleges and universities, since 2, with the state's emphasis on agriculture, the strength and popularity of the schools have improved. Modern agriculture relies on biotechnology to improve the quality and yield of crops, and the society's understanding of agriculture has changed. Everyone has gradually changed the original traditional concept of "learning agriculture is planting land" and agronomy is dealing with yellow land. Agronomy majors are showing a vigorous upward trend, employment is becoming wider and wider, and social status and reputation are improving. Especially in 26, the "26 China University Student Employment Survey" published by the Central School Department of the Youth League and the Peking University Public Policy Research Institute showed that the employment rate of agricultural students ranked first in all majors, reaching 78.38%. From this point of view, the employment of agricultural majors and their graduates is developing in a good direction. Agronomy specialty will have a great development space in the 21st century.

(III) Employment Prospects of Agronomy Major

1 The market trend of agricultural talents is rising

In recent years, agricultural talents have become the bright spot in the job fair for college graduates, and agricultural talents have gradually become the new favorite of the workplace. In the 21st century, China may need several million talents in agricultural science and technology. The concept of modern agriculture far exceeds what people traditionally think, that is, growing vegetables and growing grain. The scope of raising pigs and chickens has covered ecology, nutrition, animal and plant quarantine, food processing, cloning, international trade in flowers, lawns, pesticides, fertilizers and agricultural products, and the development, planning and development of rural society. In advance, job fairs for agricultural talents are held frequently, and the trend of agricultural talents is on the rise. Agricultural talents who have always been relatively unpopular have gradually become the new favorite of the workplace.

With the gradual attention and deep development of domestic green landscape, agriculture, gardening, greening and environmental protection, talents in landscape design and architectural planning have become the new favorites of urban construction, and are also the hot spots of supply and demand in the talent market at present; Thus, the green tour and the farmer's tour with the theme of humanity have become the fashion of today's tourism industry, forming an employment chain with gardens and environmental protection; Agricultural talents who have always been relatively unpopular have also attracted much attention from the society in the past two years. Agronomy, which used to be unpopular, has also begun to pick up. In recent years, with the sustained development of rural economy, more and more talents in agricultural science and technology are needed, and agronomy, as a discipline to cultivate high-level talents in agricultural production, has received more and more attention.

2 Domestic recruitment situation and professional forecast

On May 27th, 25, the first job fair for agricultural talents in Beijing was held in the talent market of the National Talent Mobility Center of the Ministry of Personnel. From June 22nd to July 5th, Nongbo People's Network and China National Talent Network jointly organized the Agricultural Talents Branch of the 5th National Talent Network Recruitment Conference for two weeks. PepsiCo Food (China) Co., Ltd., Zhengda Group and other well-known agriculture-related enterprises all posted signs online, among which Zhengda Group launched hundreds of vacant positions in one breath. From June 29th to July 26th, the talents in the National Talent Flow Center are often holding special job fairs for agriculture, landscape architecture, environmental protection and tourism.

According to incomplete statistics, there are millions of agricultural enterprises in China, including more than 2, agricultural companies in Beijing. Animal husbandry accounts for a large proportion of agricultural enterprises in Beijing, followed by food gardening, flowers and vegetables. Although Beijing does not focus on agricultural production, many agricultural enterprises have their headquarters in Beijing, and most of them have developed sales centers and R&D centers in Beijing. Beijing has concentrated R&D talents and a huge market, which drives the demand for agricultural R&D and sales talents in Beijing. Senior management talents are very scarce and cannot meet the needs of enterprises. Judging from the current situation, universities and other educational institutions are the main force in the cultivation and supply of agricultural talents. But the reality is that such people are really hard to find, because unlike ordinary management positions, management positions in most industries do not need special professional knowledge, but agricultural enterprises are different, and they must have rich management experience and a solid foundation of agricultural knowledge. At present, most managers of domestic agricultural enterprises start from scratch and lack sufficient professional management knowledge.

According to the forecast of the Ministry of Personnel, there are eight categories of talents in urgent need in the next few years, among which agricultural science and technology talents are juxtaposed with high-minded technical talents, bioengineering research and development talents, international trade talents and lawyers talents. In the 21st century, China may need several million talents in agricultural science and technology. Expert analysis pointed out that the increasing demand for senior management talents in agricultural enterprises is related to the fact that the current national environment is extremely beneficial to the development of agriculture, and it is also related to other related food industries, dairy industry and dairy industry being paid more and more attention by people.
