職業前景
You can be promoted from an ordinary worker to a team leader or technician, responsible for production planning and quality control. After gaining experience, you may become a farm manager or independently contract horticultural services. Some workers turned to agricultural technology promotion or green certification consulting.
Spain's horticulture industry continues to grow driven by export demand and organic farming, but the workforce is aging significantly and there is a shortage of young workers. Southern production areas such as Andalusia and Murcia offer more job opportunities, but work is highly seasonal and income fluctuates greatly.
