Outlook
Demand for agricultural products graders and sorters will show little to no growth over the next few years. More grading and sorting jobs can be done by machines. In addition, an increasing amount of agricultural products are imported from other countries. These items are graded and sorted before they are shipped here. These factors will lead to fewer new jobs in this occupation.
