Planfarm’s consulting arm to Horticulture is a respected leader in Western Australia’s burgeoning industry and provides farmers and farm businesses with unprecedented access to professional support and data.

In fact, when Vegetables WA and the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) looked to develop a financial and production benchmarking analysis for Western Australian horticulture, they partnered with Planfarm. Our unique and powerful level of knowledge provides clients with levels of business innovation and robust decision making that makes them the leaders in the field.

The end goal with Planfarm Horticulture is to ensure that you enjoy much improved levels of business, financial management, sustainability, profitability and growth. For example, ask yourself these questions on the standard service areas for Planfarm clients – all of whom represent the top 25% of WA producers.

• Have you been able to achieve a higher income per hectare while keeping your costs as a percentage of income below 65%?
• Are you achieving 8% to 15% returns on capital?
• Do you produce Key Operating Performance ratios?
• Do you produce Single or Multiple Enterprise Gross Margin Analysis?

Additionally, Planfarm Benchmarking brings objectivity to the analysis of your performance, identifies strengths and weaknesses and creates a basis for good decision making. Forward thinking and planning provides strategies that guarantee you the very best chance of prolonged success, whilst exposing the business to the least amount of risk.

Clients of our Horticulture services also receive additional insights from our complimentary Landline newsletters, as well as access to the Herbicide Guide app.
