Profitability
Which crop strategies deliver positive results? Which ones are loss strategies? Which ones serve as maximizing strategies? Each entrepreneurial decision is as good as its profit contribution. It is about revenue and cost structure, variable and fixed costs, margin contribution and as a result about profit.

Feasibility

Mere profit maximization is often the goal. From starting off the day and at the end of the day this is what in most cases it is about. However, is a sole profit maximizing crop strategy finally feasible? For the negotiations between you – the agri-preneur shareholders – the feasibility of the strategy will be a strong argument.

Market capacities

having an eye on your markets is a strategic responsibility. It is about the sensitive question of how much crops can be produced, which quantities can be absorbed by the market and not least at which price? Pushing through a favoured option and taking on responsibility is an important ability of people in leadership roles.

Fun factor

Joy and humour form an integral part of the strategy game. Although humour isn’t the solution for complex negotiations, however humour can be the right thing to relax tense situations. This contributes to a pleasant atmosphere. To feel yourself comfortable in difficult situations is a strength!
