Block Profit Analysis

What is "Block Profit"?

Block Profit is a financial tool for growers to identify and compare the performance and profit of individual blocks of trees/vines.
  • Summarise your block's performance and cost structure in one concise report.
  • Understand the key drivers to your block's profitability.
  • Know your costs.
  • Track block performance over a number of years.
  • Receive up to three report updates:
    · prepare forecasts at the start of the year,
    · update your estimates during the year,
    · confirm final figures at year's end.
  • Assess your blocks against average and upper quartile performance of groups of comparable blocks.
What does the Block Profit Service include?

Your report includes:
  • Your individual block reports based on your submitted figures - up to three years detailed on each report.
  • A report for each of your blocks comparing to the average and upper quartile of a like-group of blocks.
  • A profit summary report of all your blocks submitted by block and by property.

Many growers use Block Profit as a forecast tool for the current cropping year, so we have made the service flexible enough to let you look forward, as well as back.

Your Block Profit analysis price includes:

  • Initial forecast (for the current year)
  • One optional updated forecast during the year (you choose when you want to run it)
  • The Actual Result at year end (we will contact you to remind you to submit your final figures after the end of the year).
