Gross margin analysis is a critical step in farm planning and decision making. In this workshop, you will take an enterprise focused approach considering both cash flow implications of a variety of enterprise choices, and will also focus on preparing annual cash flow budgets.

 

This is an interactive one day face-to-face workshop. Participants have the opportunity to interact with facilitator Tony Hudson (Director, Hudson Facilitation), other farmers and the local Rabobank team. This workshop is a Rabo Client Council initiative, groups of Rabobank clients who are passionate about making a difference in their communities, as a way to help develop long-term industry capacity and provide agricultural education.

 

The workshop is broken down into four components:

1. Review of financial statements; the Profit & Loss Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Budget.

2. Law of diminishing returns.

3. Gross margin analysis; learn how to calculate the gross margin of your business.

4. Cash flow budgeting; learn why is it important, and work through a practical example to gain useful tools to better manage your own cash flow budget.
