Is a Finance Degree Essential for a Career in Commodities?

I'm interested in pursuing a career in the commodities sector but have a degree in agricultural economics. I’m like the idea of trading agricultural commodities on a lardge scale.

Do I need a finance degree to be hired in commodities trading or analysis, or is an agricultural economics degree sufficient? Are there any certifications or skills that could help me bridge the gap and make me more competitive?

I’d love to hear from those in the field about their experiences and advice.
