Agro Processing

Processing agricultural inputs where yield varies with the crop and procurement is seasonal.

Also covers: Food Grain Processing · Spice Processing · Oil Mill

About this industry

Agro processing takes a variable natural input and produces a graded output. Yield depends on the lot, moisture is both a cost and a quality parameter, and procurement is concentrated into a season that commits most of the year's working capital. The economics are decided at procurement and measured at processing.

Common operational problems

  • Yield varies by lot and is compared against a standard that fits none of them
  • Moisture affects both weight paid for and weight sold
  • Procurement is seasonal and commits capital against uncertain yield
  • Grading at intake is subjective and unrecorded
  • By-products have value that is realised inconsistently

Example workflows

  1. Intake recorded with weight, moisture and assessed grade per lot

  2. Processing yield measured against the specific lot

  3. By-products recorded and valued rather than treated as waste

  4. Supplier performance compared on realised yield, not on rate

  5. Seasonal procurement planned against measured historical yield
