How we worked it out.
- Source: every vacancy AgriHires carried 3 Oct 2026 to 19 Oct 2026, open and filled: 81 in all. One vacancy counts once, however many openings it has.
- Pay: the fixed monthly range on the post. Annual figures (LPA) are divided by 12. Incentives, travel allowance and bonuses are left out.
- Left out: posts with no pay ("not disclosed", "best in industry") and 4 posts with only an upper limit ("up to").
- Median range: the median of range bottoms to the median of range tops. Lowest start and highest top are the extremes.
- Privacy: no employer is named, and any group with fewer than 3 roles that publish pay shows “too few roles to show”.
- Limits: a small, recent sample from one recruiter, mostly private agri-input, machinery and agri-tech companies. Not a survey of the whole agriculture sector.

Agri pay, answered.
- What do agriculture jobs pay in India in 2026?
- In 22 AgriHires vacancies with a published range (3 Oct 2026 to 19 Oct 2026), monthly fixed pay ran from ₹8,333 to ₹1,50,000, with a median range of ₹18,315 to ₹35,000. Most of these are field and sales roles, so senior pay is under-represented.
- What is the salary of an agri sales job?
- In 17 AgriHires sales and marketing vacancies with a pay range, monthly fixed pay ran from ₹8,333 to ₹1,50,000; the median range was ₹15,000 to ₹35,000 a month. Field sales roles often add travel allowance and incentives on top.
- How many agri vacancies show the salary?
- 22 of 81 AgriHires vacancies (27%) published a closed pay range. The rest said "not disclosed", "best in industry" or gave only an upper limit.
- Why do some rows say “too few roles to show”?
- We show a figure only when at least 3 vacancies in that group publish pay. Fewer than that would describe one employer, not the market, and could identify a client.
- Is this the whole agriculture job market?
- No. It covers only vacancies AgriHires has carried, mainly private agri-input, machinery and agri-tech companies. It is a small, recent sample and will be updated as more roles come in.
