Farm Planning and
Management |
PREMISE: Managers employed to plan and manage public and private farm businesses may be technically
capable. However, their ability to translate and turn around investment in agriculture into profit is often not adequate.
Their inability to generate value for money, (in agricultural business), most times is as a result of the fact that they
do not possess the requisite practical farm planning and management skills to manage the investments efficiently and
generate expected results.

managers and farm management specialists with the
relevant knowledge and skills to increase their

profits out of investment.
