About Agriculture/Fisheries/Aquaculturist Jobs in Eastern Cape

The Eastern Cape region in South Africa offers a promising career landscape for individuals interested in the agriculture, fisheries, and aquaculture sectors. These fields are typically driven by a growing demand for food security, sustainable livelihoods, and eco-tourism, making them attractive industries to work in.

Typically, salaries for professionals in these fields range from R400 000 to R1,5 million per annum, depending on factors such as experience, industry sector, and company size. For example, agricultural specialists may earn lower salaries than aquaculture experts with specialized knowledge of water management systems.

These sectors often require expertise in areas such as integrated pest management, water conservation, or sustainable land use planning.

Career progression for individuals working in these fields can be influenced by factors such as academic qualifications, relevant work experience, and specialized skills.
