Check the suitability of your land (a resource audit) - Including soil, aspect, slope, access to water, frost risk, etc. Remember don’t grow a particular crop just because it will grow well on your land. Most importantly......... 2. Research your markets - Visit major markets, speak to consumers, retailers and agents, gather market information from market reporting services, speak to other growers, industry organisations, exporters, processors, etc. Remember beware the DFO (data free observation). 3. Prepare a business plan - A business plan should answer the following questions: 1. What resources are available? - $, (establishment and on-going), land, infrastructure (harvesting, transport, processing etc) skills, labour and time.
