Small Business success There are between 400m and 500m SME businesses globally. They create 60%+ of all jobs and 40% of global GDP! There is no dispute about their significance. As an SME, you are important in the bigger scheme of things! There are major changes occurring in the world today, driven largely by COVID and lockdown. Food security, carbon footprints and supply chain length are all getting attention and changing the focus for business and consumers alike in the fresh produce, fruit and nuts sector. Computer driven systems have gained territory and there are few areas where they are not part of business. This is creating many new opportunities for existing and future SMEs and fresh produce production is innovating incredibility fast. Agriculture now includes growing in soil, as well as greenhouses, shipping containers and buildings. All of them are using a variety of technologies, so what do we have to offer you? We offer a range of business opportunities in this sector including: • Grain fodder production for farmers for winter or drought use; • Grain fodder production for feedlots and veterinary practices; • Barley steeping and malting for craft breweries; • High value crops like peppers and tomatoes; • Seedlings for garden shops and forestry companies; • Mushroom production for supermarkets and restaurants; • Snail production for restaurants and retailers. We take information about your local markets and costs, and then we produce a profit and loss statement and other financial information such as breakeven, which we share with you. You can then assess the information and discuss with your financial advisor/accountant. It soon becomes obvious whether it is profitable or not. Every market is not necessarily profitable in every location. Our products are specifically designed to provide high crop yields, which in turn leads to high profit margins. There is no point in growing low value crops that take 6 weeks to grow.
