NOT JUST PRODUCE BETTER. MAKE MORE PROFIT.

🌱 Agroconsulenze is expanding its services with a new approach to agricultural consulting: increasing farm profitability, not just improving agronomic performance.

A farm can increase production and still make less money. Alternatively, it can achieve better results by optimising costs, labour, technology investments and commercial strategies.

That is why I have developed a comprehensive consultancy service focused on agricultural profitability, starting with an analysis of the farm's financial performance and identifying practical opportunities to improve its economic results.

🔎 1. ANALYSE: Where is your farm losing profitability?

With maximum confidentiality, guaranteed through a written agreement, we analyse your farm's financial statements to identify opportunities to reduce costs, improve efficiency, increase product value and sell more effectively.

⚙️ 2. TAKE ACTION: Technologies that can make a difference

We work with selected innovative suppliers offering solutions designed to reduce costs, improve productivity and increase operational efficiency.

Here are some examples, particularly relevant to blueberries and soft fruit production.

🐝 POLLINATION AND PRODUCTIVITY

AgriSound: monitoring pollinator activity to support better pollination management decisions, depending on the production system and field conditions.

🌱 BIOSTIMULATION AND CROP MANAGEMENT

Agridaeus – Triptonite: a solution to evaluate for its potential production benefits, with results depending on growing conditions and the application protocol.
Mattivi – MH107 blueberry variety: potential to reduce the number of harvesting rounds, from an average of three to just one, depending on production conditions and variety performance.

💧 WATER, IRRIGATION AND MONITORING

Ageon: sensors to monitor soil or substrate conditions in the field or in pots, supporting more efficient irrigation decisions.
Knitink: solutions to optimise irrigation water use.
Ecotube: irrigation pipes and distribution systems that may help reduce water consumption, with reported savings, depending on the system and operating conditions.
Netafim, Serinova and Famidan: irrigation, plant nutrition and production-system solutions to assess according to each farm's needs.

🚜 LESS LABOUR, GREATER EFFICIENCY

Agrogestia: tools to monitor and improve harvesting costs and labour efficiency.
BFM Italy: mechanical solutions for under-row weed management, helping reduce manual work.
Campagnola – Starberry: an electric blueberry shaker designed to reduce harvesting costs, with indicative productivity of up to approximately 25 kg/hour under suitable operating conditions, compared with around 5–8 kg/hour for manual harvesting.
MKR-PROH 25.1: a sorting and grading machine for smaller farms, helping reduce manual fruit cleaning and sorting.
Zetapack: automatic weighing and packaging systems that reduce the time and costs involved in preparing berry punnets.

📦 PACKAGING AND PACKING COSTS

Paras Pck: packaging solutions to assess and optimise the cost of punnets and packaging materials.
Cartarredo: packaging and presentation solutions for agricultural products.

🌦️ INVESTING TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE

Corradi Impianti: crop covers and protection systems.
Europrogress: greenhouses and protected-production structures.
Insolight: agrivoltaic solutions combining agricultural production and energy generation.

Depending on the farm, other suppliers and technologies can also be assessed by comparing costs, expected benefits and return on investment.

📊 3. MEASURE: How much does your financial performance improve?

Every investment should be evaluated according to its economic impact:
