Agribusiness (Finance) in the midst of drought.

In the world of Agribusiness, 2014 is all but concluded.  For southern NSW and Victoria the year overall has been satisfactory with the season yielding results that will capitalise reinvestment back into the business with full production being set for next year.  Northern NSW and QLD are still dealing with the grips of seasonally tight operating conditions and its associated challenges.  At ground zero there are many issues being managed on multiple levels.  Hard decisions are being made around cropping and livestock activities that will determine next year’s financial outcomes and the impact this will have on capitalisation requirements.

Robinson Sewell Partners are sympathetic to the farmers trying to make the best rational decisions with the information and options they have on hand.  What livestock to keep, what livestock to sell, what cropping program should be committed to on the understanding of future rainfall events.  It is an emotional time, especially leading into Christmas and a new calendar year.

Support is Available
