“I like having the confidence to leave someone else in charge and enjoy knowing that everything that needs doing is being done. We are very happy with Prospa.”
What influenced you to choose Prospa for your management service provider?
We had our own Orchard Manager for decades prior and he was retiring. We were looking to grow the size of our orchard and do a major expansion so we wanted to partner with a company that could manage everything and be on top of it all daily.
How well do you feel your orchard has performed under Prospa management?
We are very happy with Prospa, they always look to maximise returns and crop yields. Our orchard has improved since it has been under Prospa, even in a year impacted by weather we came out well relative to the industry.
How would you describe the relationship you have with your Orchard Manager?
Its good, I can talk to him anytime. We have open communication, and he keeps me up to speed.
How much do you value the orchard performance reporting you receive from Prospa?
It is good to get the reports, there is a lot of information there.
How effective do you feel your Orchard Manager is at producing the crop as cost efficiently as possible?
My Orchard Manager does a good job with the budgets and cost control, I used to spend more when I had to manage the orchard myself. Anything extra that has gone in has been good value, with the return outweighing the cost.
How well do you feel Prospa manages the Health & Safety and compliance requirements for your orchard?
Prospa handles this well and has taken the burden of compliance away. This is quite important to me, and I am confident that it is under control and taken care of.
What do you like most about having Prospa manage your orchard?
I like having the confidence to leave someone else in charge and enjoy knowing that everything that needs doing is being done.
What advice would you have for anyone considering partnering with Prospa?
I would recommend that you consider Prospa, from my experience it has been definitely worthwhile.
