iQonsulting provides reports of the latest Chilean cherry varieties on the Chinese market, which can be consulted free of charge.
In addition, it provides farmers and producers with the appropriate methodology to calculate their return on the production and sale of cherries.
‘To calculate your net return as a producer and your available cash flow, follow the steps below. Subtract from the market price the costs of sea freight, export fees, cold storage and other associated expenses. Remember that if you have financed your season with advances, deduct these amounts plus interest to get the net producer return price.’
‘Then subtract business operating costs and bank commission if you financed the investment or working capital, and you get your available cash flow.’
For more detailed information on the cherry season, you can download and consult the iQonsulting cherry yearbook for free. For the report click here
