CFA Benchmarking

Benchmarking Contract Farming Agreements (CFAs) by comparing to other farms will highlight any particular issues with either crop performance or the financial return to either party.

At Brown&Co we have a database of over 30,000 acres which can be used to assess the common trends in CFA returns.

How You Benefit

Comparing the financial returns and a comparison of farm productivity ensures any issues are highlighted and can be addressed. Due to the variation in structures of CFAs, a weighting to one particular party could be resolved especially at the point of re-negotiation.
