Arable Business Groups

Arable Business Groups provide facilitated discussions to help groups of farmers improve their business management skills.

What do Arable Business Groups do?

Arable Business Groups aim to:

  • Understand costs of production*
  • Investigate pricing strategies
  • Share information
  • Identify best practice
  • Focus on issues that affect members’ businesses
  • Make efficient use of industry experts

Arable Business Groups are part of AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds Farm Excellence activities.

*Understanding cost of production is the initial focus of any group meeting. Members of an Arable Business Group have access to Farmbench, our web-based benchmarking tool. Farmbench allows you to make confidential cost comparisons with group, regional and national data.
