Solutions for agroexporters and farming companies that want to know whether their operation is competitive and whether it is reaching its full value.
Agricultural benchmarking
and sector comparison
Labor, fertilization, irrigation and harvest costs are compared with operations of similar scale and location.
Yield per hectare and per plant is checked against what the variety, the age of the field and the zone should deliver, and we detect whether value is lost to planting density.
Exportable share, caliber and quality are measured against competitors, and we review whether the commercial setup captures value or gives up margin.
We calculate how much contribution falls if labor costs rise in dollars, if the sol appreciates or if freight gets more expensive, and whether there is financial backing for weak years.
Process mapping
and efficiency gains
We walk the operation and interview the people who do the work. The map shows what actually happens, checked against the manuals and org charts.
HR, purchasing, logistics and finance are part of the farming process, and a good share of the inefficiency usually sits there.
Spending more on labor can be justified if productivity or quality goes up: each gap is judged against the result it produces.
Each finding is translated into its effect on cost and contribution per hectare, and ranked by what it is worth fixing.
Strategic and financial planning
for farming operations
A farming plan can end up adopting the desired yield instead of the most likely one, and averaging costs that should be broken down by task.
A single case locked into the budget stops being tested: price, wages and weather are set by a third party.
With a baseline, a benchmark and traceable scenarios, the team chooses between alternatives already quantified instead of bending the numbers to the target.
The company receives the documented model, with formulas and sources in plain view, and updates the exercise in later seasons without depending on the consultant.
Debt and equity
raising
We map the alternatives to finance growth and what each one asks for: a fund requires different information than a traditional bank line.
We define whether debt, equity or both make sense, in what order, and which structure the seasonal cash flow can carry without straining cash.
The information a committee asks for (model, financial statements and contracts) is left ready, with the risks that worry an investor already identified and explained.
Rate, tenor, guarantees and covenants on offer are checked against the market before accepting.
Supervision of
farming operations
The board, general management and the field often read the same result differently. A third party puts them on the same base.
Expected results are checked on the ground, so the target the board discusses is the one the field can deliver.
Years of seeing many operations leave alternatives that never show up in the daily routine, and that sometimes solve a problem that looked closed.
Each visit picks up what was recommended and what was implemented, and the judgment ACM brings stays with the team.
Satellite imagery pilot
for crop management
It is tested on one farm and one season, with a bounded cost and timeline, before deciding whether it is worth scaling.
The satellite record is available even if nothing was ever measured: the pilot starts with years of data.
Thresholds are calculated on the distribution of the farm itself in that season.
What the index flags is verified in the block. It shows where critical blocks cluster and identifies the structural causes behind them.
Carbon footprint
and Minam recognition
We define which emission sources are included and which base year the comparison is made against. The work can start even if there are periods with no records.
If new hectares come in every season, the total footprint goes up. That is why it is also measured per hectare and per kilo, so growth does not skew performance.
The first recognition is not always enough: the buyer or the certifier may ask for verification. We explain what Minam requires at each star.
The team receives a guide to calculate the footprint on its own the following year, and we define how to organize so the process can be repeated.
Valuation of
agricultural companies
Value comes from hectares, varieties, plantation age and achievable yield.
Every FOB price and every yield is compared against equivalent operations, and then enters the model.
Water, weather and labor, legal and environmental contingencies enter the exercise and adjust the final number.
The company receives the model, the inputs and the commercial material in a transparent and traceable way, and can reproduce the value when an assumption changes.
Market studies
local and international
The analysis relies on field visits and interviews with local growers, exporters and suppliers.
Water, climate, labor, logistics and regulation are crossed in a single analysis.
Experience built in more than 30 countries lets us separate the structural from the temporary and know which figure to doubt.
Each country is assessed with the same variables, so the alternatives can be placed side by side.
