Gross Margin

The Department of Agriculture has developed the sheep Gross Margin model as a decision support tool for farmers in the Falkland Islands.

The model covers a comprehensive range of options believed to represent the full spectrum of enterprise possibilities. The relative Gross Margin of specialist lamb production systems, dual purpose options and specialist wool growing options are all able to be explored and compared using the model.

It should be recognised that a number of assumptions must be made to operate the model, the accuracy of these assumptions are pivotal to obtaining realistic data.
