NERAMAC Business Development Officer Recruitment 2026: Apply by 20 April

Recruitment overview

NERAMAC has invited applications for the post of Business Development Officer for its Head Office in Assam. The position is offered on contract basis. The recruitment is being conducted by North Eastern Regional Agricultural Marketing Corporation Limited, a Government of India enterprise under the administrative control of the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region.

This is a single-post recruitment meant for experienced candidates who understand agri-business, market linkages, FPO-related work, and project execution in the North Eastern Region.

Important dates

Candidates should not wait for a separate online portal-based application window. The main action point is to submit the form and supporting documents by 20 April 2026.

Vacancy details and posting location

The official notice also states that the position requires frequent travel to various locations across the North Eastern Region. Candidates should therefore assess suitability not only for the office location but also for the travel demands of the role.

Eligibility criteria

The eligibility conditions in the notice are specific and experience-heavy.

• Age limit: Not above 36 years as on 1 May 2026.
• Educational qualification: Postgraduate in Agriculture, Forestry, Agri-Business, Rural Development, or Management from a recognized institution.
• Citizenship: Applicant must be a citizen of India.
• Qualification recognition: Qualifications should be from UGC-recognized universities, UGC-recognized deemed universities, or AICTE-approved autonomous institutions, wherever applicable.

If a candidate does not clearly meet these conditions, the application can be rejected at any stage.

Experience and preferred skills

The official notice asks for more than 8 years of experience in the relevant field. This is the most important filter in the recruitment because the role is not framed as entry-level or trainee-based.

• More than 8 years of relevant work experience.
• Preferably experience in FPO marketing.
• Preferably experience related to GI products of the North Eastern Region.
• Familiarity with government schemes and project implementation.
• Knowledge of the North Eastern Region.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Reporting ability and basic computer knowledge such as MS Office and MS Excel.
• Understanding of agri-business and value chains.

The notice also says candidates with stronger experience in Public Sector Undertakings or large organizations of repute would be preferred.

Salary and contract terms

The notice makes it clear that the engaged person will only receive consolidated remuneration. No additional allowance or separate payment for work on holidays or outside office hours is promised. Leaves will be governed by corporation rules for contract employees, and increments may be given according to policy from time to time.

What the Business Development Officer will do

The job role in the official advertisement is broad and operational. It combines business development, FPO support, coordination, documentation, and market linkage responsibilities.

• Identify buyers and institutional markets for FPO products.
• Negotiate pricing and supply agreements for large-scale procurement.
• Manage procurement and timely delivery of orders.
• Train FPO members on quality standards, grading, and packaging.
• Support formation of FPOs and SHGs and coordinate with stakeholders.
• Coordinate training and capacity building programs.
• Facilitate market linkages, branding, and business development initiatives.
• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements including CITES guidelines.
• Coordinate with sales, marketing, and operations teams.
• Monitor project progress and maintain updated databases.
• Assist in reports, proposals, periodic progress reports, and business documentation.

In practical terms, the role is suited to someone who can work across field coordination, buyer outreach, reporting, and project support rather than someone looking for a narrowly desk-based assignment.

How to apply

The official notice does not mention a dedicated online form portal. Candidates are required to submit their application form along with relevant testimonials through email or by post.

1. Download the official notification and application form from the NERAMAC career page.
2. Fill in the required personal, educational, and experience details carefully.
3. Attach relevant testimonials and supporting documents.

Only shortlisted candidates will be called for interview. The interview date will be informed separately to shortlisted applicants.

Application address and interview instructions

The notice gives a single office address for communication and interview-related purposes.

The official notice also says shortlisted candidates must bring their original testimonials on the date of interview. No TA or DA will be paid for appearing in the interview.

Important terms candidates should not miss

• Mere fulfilment of eligibility does not guarantee being called for interview.
• NERAMAC can raise the shortlisting standard beyond the minimum prescribed qualification or experience.
• Candidates working under Central Government, State Government, Public Sector Undertakings, or autonomous bodies should produce a No Objection Certificate at the time of interview.
• The corporation can transfer the engaged person to another location or branch if required.
• The contract can be terminated by the corporation with one month's prior notice if performance is unsatisfactory.
• The engagement does not create any right to regularization, absorption, or future claim for permanent service.
• Any changes to the recruitment notice will be published only on the NERAMAC website.
• Legal disputes, if any, are subject to Guwahati court jurisdiction only.

These conditions are important because they affect shortlisting, contract continuity, and the nature of the appointment after selection.
