Guidance from job tag (Japanese)
入職にあたって、特に学歴や資格は必要とされない。大学や高校等で果樹園芸を学んでいると役に立つ。
　農業研修生として募集している農園で知識や実習を積み、就業する人も増えている。公的機関でも果樹栽培技術の研修を実施しているところがある。
　経営者の場合は、果樹園の管理のほか、果物の販売戦略も考えなければならない。果樹は苗木の植付けから収穫まで数年を要するものも多いため、需要の動向を的確に予測する能力が必要とされる。品質向上のため、新たな栽培技術の習得に努め、品種改良に取り組む姿勢も求められる。
　機械化が進んでいるが、摘果や袋掛け、収穫などでは手作業が必要であり、ある程度の体力が必要である。
