Farm and Orchard Due Diligence
MacAvo Consulting specialise in providing independent reviews and due diligence research for macadamia and avocado corporate investors and farm business managers.
Chris Searle has more than two decades of industry experience and unique knowledge, and understands the complexities and issues involved in the identification, financial and physical analysis and procurement of property for macadamia and avocado production.
Chris has conducted comprehensive feasibility studies into large scale avocado production in Vietnam and Indonesia, and due diligence for the purchase of thousands of hectares of macadamias across Australia.
He analyses the many variables that can affect the value of a piece of horticultural property (from topography and soil health to historical crop yield and business structure, to name just a few) and provides clients with a detailed report outlining the key profit drivers, barriers to success and key risks, along with mitigation recommendations.
Chris’ due diligence is thorough and customised to your individual needs and includes:
- site and infrastructure assessment
- review of existing business structure and production systems
- staff and skills
- soil testing to determine nutrition and pH status
- mapping of the property to determine true arable area and property boundaries
- assessment of future required expenditure on the property
- cost of production analysis based on historical production data
- financial analysis of likely investment returns
- facilitating a sworn valuation of the property
- legal due diligence regarding current ownership
- environmental survey and notation
- corporate agricultural risk management assessment.
