Accounts Analysis

What is "Accounts Analysis"?

HortWatch Accounts Analysis pulls together core information from your annual accounts and key physical data from your property and crop to help you accurately track the progress of your overall orchard business.

Compare your financial and physical performance in relation to:

  • Land use
  • Production
  • Average results for a comparable group growers,
  • Average results for the top performers of the comparison group.
With reports that identify Key Performance Indicators to give you the big picture for your business, detailed breakdowns of your income, expenses and production from several angles (total, per hectare, per kilogram), and the perspective of where your business stands in relation to comparable growers, Accounts Analysis is an important tool both to review your past performance and to plan for the future.
  • Production per hectare by variety.
  • Export recovery by variety.
  • Variety mix by area and volume.
  • Economic Farm Surplus (EFS) per hectare and per kg.
  • Breakdown of costs per hectare and per kg.
  • Return on assets.
  • Return on equity.
  • Debt/equity ratio.
  • and much, much more.
