Job description

Neev's seed is grown on contract by farmers in the Sri Ganganagar and Hanumangarh belt. You decide which grower gets which class of seed, whether the isolation distance on that plot is genuinely adequate, and whether the lot passes or fails. Everything the company sells eighteen months from now...

What you will do

• Select and contract growers for the crops assigned to you. Verify land, irrigation source, previous crop history and isolation distance before you allot a single bag.
• Issue foundation and certified class seed against signed agreements, and keep lot-wise records of what went to which grower and which survey number. If the paperwork is loose, the lot is not traceable and the lot is not saleable.
• Run roguing rounds at the correct crop stages. Off-type removal in wheat, mustard, gram, guar and berseem is decided by the crop calendar, not by whichever plot is convenient that week.
• Accompany Rajasthan State Seed and Organic Certification Agency inspectors on field inspections, and keep field inspection reports, tags and certification paperwork complete and current.
• Estimate yield plot by plot ahead of harvest and give the Hisar plant a realistic arrival forecast, so processing and packing can be scheduled instead of improvised.
• Supervise harvest, threshing and moisture at receipt. Segregate or reject lots that will not make standard before they enter the plant, not after.
• Handle grower payment paperwork and settle deductions transparently. Next season's acreage depends entirely on how this season's settlement was handled.

What you must have

• B.Sc Agriculture, or Diploma in Agriculture with at least 5 years of hands-on seed production.
• 3 to 6 years in seed production, contract farming or grower relations.
• Working knowledge of the Indian Minimum Seed Certification Standards for your crops: isolation distance, field standards, seed standards.
• Hindi. Local Rajasthani is a genuine advantage with growers.
• Own two-wheeler and a valid driving licence.

Nice to have

• Mustard, gram, guar or berseem seed production experience.
• Experience handling grow-out test (GOT) plots.
• Basic Excel for grower and lot registers.

What Neev offers

• Fixed monthly salary, discussed openly on the first call. Season-linked incentive, settled after kharif and after rabi. Travel and fuel reimbursement, and a mobile allowance, for field roles. On-roll employment with Neev Seeds Pvt. Ltd. and a written appointment letter.
• PF and ESI as applicable. 600+ authorised distributors and 20+ years of supply chain behind whatever you sell, grow or ship.
• Reviews after each season, not once a year.

Based in Sri Ganganagar. Field-based, plot to plot, across the production belt. 22 or more days a month in the field during sowing and roguing windows. Quieter between windows. This is not an even year. Monday to Saturday.
