HSBC’S TOP 10 TIPS IN 2014
Few farms operate at their true economic optimum
The difference between the best and worst was large – now its
enormous
Does expansion increase/decrease profitability + cash?
Benchmarking and Budgeting are VITAL
The biggest variable in a business is YOU
The customer and consumer are king
Charles Darwin was right about dinosaurs – be adaptable
Know who your competitor is, what they do, and why?
Collaborate with your neighbour
VOLATILITY IS HERE TO STAY

THANK YOU
