This project aims to produce an updated Farm Gross Margin/Risk Guide to improve business acumen of crop and livestock producers in SA. The guide will increase crop and livestock producers’ capacity to assess the relative profitability and risk of enterprises as part of their farm business planning process, leading to improved farm planning, decision making and providing more profitable and sustainable businesses. This project is a co-investment, with GRDC providing 50% of the total funding.
