This document summarizes the economics of grass-based dairy farming compared to conventional dairy farming. Some key points:
- Grass-based dairies can significantly reduce feed costs by allowing cows to graze pasture, but require different management skills focused on pasture and animal observation.
- Studies found grass-based dairies to be economically competitive with conventional dairies, with similar labor costs per cow but less use of technology and purchased feed.
- Non-transitional grass-based dairies that started as low-capital operations tended to have lower costs per cow and higher profits than conventional or higher-capital grazing dairies, but profitability varied widely across all farm types.

In the lush landscapes of Batangas, Philippines, where the aroma of coffee and cacao fills the
air, a remarkable financial transformation was unfolding. This case study unveils the inspiring
journey of Green Harvest Consultancy Inc., a pioneering agricultural consulting firm, and how
they empowered a struggling agribusiness, GreenBean Plantations, to achieve remarkable

agribusiness, faced a multitude of financial challenges, including high debt, erratic cash flow,
rising operational costs, and declining market competitiveness. Desperate for a lifeline, they
turned to Green Harvest Consultancy Inc. for a strategic financial rescue.
Challenges Faced by GreenBean Plantations:
GreenBean Plantations faced significant challenges that threatened their financial stability and
market competitiveness. The agribusiness was burdened by substantial debts, limiting their
ability to invest in essential resources and improvements. Unpredictable market prices and
irregular harvests led to cash flow fluctuations, making it challenging to meet financial
obligations consistently. Moreover, rising operational costs, including labor, fertilizers, and pest
control, were eroding profit margins, adding to their financial strain. Additionally, GreenBean
Plantations struggled to compete with larger agribusinesses due to a lack of economies of scale
and marketing expertise. These challenges highlighted the urgent need for strategic financial
management, cost-effective solutions, and enhanced marketing strategies to ensure the
agribusiness's sustainability and competitiveness in the market.
Green Harvest Consultancy Inc.’s Approach:
Green Harvest Consultancy Inc. orchestrated a multifaceted approach to address the
challenges faced by GreenBean Plantations. Firstly, they successfully negotiated debt
restructuring terms with financial institutions, reducing interest rates and extending repayment
periods, alleviating the burden of debt overload. Secondly, a comprehensive financial plan was
developed, emphasizing cost control, budgeting, and improved cash flow management to tackle
cash flow fluctuations. Thirdly, operational efficiency was enhanced through the introduction of
efficient farming techniques, waste reduction, and optimized resource allocation, effectively
lowering operational costs.
3. Lastly, a strategic marketing plan was implemented, positioning GreenBean Plantations as a
premium, sustainable brand in niche markets, thereby enhancing market competitiveness and
profitability. These interventions not only stabilized the financial standing of GreenBean
Plantations but also ensured operational efficiency and a strong market presence, marking a
significant turnaround for the agribusiness.
Outcomes and Impact:
Green Harvest Consultancy Inc. orchestrated a remarkable turnaround for GreenBean
Plantations, addressing critical areas of concern. Firstly, their strategic efforts led to a
substantial reduction in the agribusiness's debt burden, alleviating financial stress and improving
liquidity significantly. Secondly, meticulous financial planning measures were implemented,
ensuring consistent cash flow and enabling GreenBean Plantations to meet their financial
obligations promptly and invest in essential resources. Thirdly, operational efficiency initiatives
were undertaken, resulting in significant cost savings and consequently enhancing profitability.
Lastly, the agribusiness achieved remarkable market success by successfully entering niche
markets. They attracted buyers willing to pay a premium for sustainably grown coffee and
cacao, establishing a strong market presence and securing a sustainable revenue stream.
These combined efforts not only stabilized the financial health of GreenBean Plantations but
also propelled them into a position of strength and competitiveness in the market.
Conclusion:
The partnership between Green Harvest Consultancy Inc. and GreenBean Plantations
exemplifies the transformative potential of expert financial consulting in the Philippines. By
addressing financial challenges with strategic solutions, GreenBean Plantations not only
overcame adversity but achieved remarkable financial success. This case study underscores
the profound impact that targeted financial consulting can have, not only on the bottom line of a

scale operations and modernize infrastructure, hindering their overall growth and development
prospects. These challenges highlighted the need for strategic financial planning, efficient
resource management, and improved access to capital to ensure TerraCrop Farms' long-term
financial stability and growth.
