Our global farm data sets
We manage a unique global data base of typical farms, including crop rotations and crop specific production systems for over fifteen crops. We provide comprehensive data on farm equipment, labour organisation and input, land use, fertiliser and seed inputs, as well as pesticide costs, including herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides. These data are integrated into crop-specific production systems at the operational level, while overhead and finance costs are monitored at the whole-farm level. This structure enables detailed analysis of returns, costs, and profitability at both crop and farm levels. The dataset is updated annually, allowing for consistent time-series analysis and long-term benchmarking.

Tailormade studies
The agri benchmark Cash Crop network and data infrastructure are used for specific projects, and projects are used to provide new data to the network. The studies center around the topics of competitiveness, environment, practice change, agricultural and trade politics. Customers are (inter)national project donors and companies.
