“Advisors play a crucial role in helping farmers apply optimal fertilization techniques, especially admits high prices and shortages due to the war in Ukraine, which caused a 149% increase in fertilizer prices in September 2022 compared to 2021.

This requieres them to stay updated on research and innovations while also deploying soft skills to adapt knowledge to local contexts.”
