Summary

Business EDGE is a two-day financial and business management training workshop for producers where the aim is to enhance producer knowledge and skills in basic financial and business management to improve business efficiency and profitability. Improving financial and business performance is particularly important given the continued climate of declining terms of trade, increasing land prices, tightening credit and rapid national and global economic and policy influence affecting enterprises. Business EDGE (Southern) has not been updated since it started in 2016.
