A crop production manager already meets 58% of what the fruit production team leader role asks for. The move turns on 16 required skills not yet in the profile.
58%
58.6/ 100
1 Share of the fruit production team leader role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the crop production manager profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A fruit production team leader role treats 24 of its required skills as things a crop production manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- crop production principles
- ensure soil fertility
- environmental legislation in agriculture and forestry
- execute disease and pest control activities
- fertilisation principles
- grow plants
What stands in the way is 16 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 40 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fruit production team leader role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a crop production manager background worth leading with.
- already held ensure soil fertility handling and moving
- already held manage agritourism activities management skills
- already held perform on-farm product processing working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held monitor fields handling and moving
- already held provide agri-touristic services communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held types of storage facilities information and communication technologies (icts)
All 40 carried skills, including the 24 the fruit production team leader role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a fruit production team leader role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 supervise fruit production teams skill · occupation specific

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
