Farmer's Urged to Upskill

2/3/2017

Australian agriculture is shaping up for a good year according to the head of Rabobank. But strong business management skills are needed if farmers are to capitalise on the opportunities.

Announcing the opening of applications for this year’s Farm Managers Program, Rabobank Australia CEO Peter Knoblanche said the bank saw a strong outlook for Australian agriculture in 2017 and beyond, with factors in its favour including the projected rise in global economic growth and strong commodity prices for most livestock and crops.

“This has translated into strong investment activity within the sector, and it is those farmers with astute business management skills who are better equipped to capitalise on these opportunities,” Mr Knoblanche said.
​
​Designed to strengthen the operational and strategic skills of emerging farmers, the annually-held Farm Managers Program covers topics including global trends in agriculture, business planning, financial management, leadership and succession planning.
