The equipment need
The business had just taken over land under long-term leases under a 25-year lease.
The areas to be harvested increased significantly beyond the capacity of the existing crop chain.
The manager wanted to acquire a second-hand combine harvester while maintaining cash for inputs.
The timing was constrained by the opening date of the harvest season.
- High-capacity second-hand combine grinder
- Cut and associated harvesting equipment
The support described in the project
We have structured an equipment lease for a high-capacity second-hand combine harvester.
The equipment was subject to expertise in order to validate its value with the financial institution.
The lease payments were set at 60 months, consistent with the expected duration of use of the equipment.
A purchase option at the end of the contract has been provided to allow the choice to retain the machine.
The reported operational outcome
The holding harvested all its new areas from the next marketing year.
Cash remained available to finance work and supplies related to land repossession.
The increase in capacity was absorbed internally, without increasing the use of an agricultural work enterprise.
The cost of financing has been smoothed out from the revenues of several successive campaigns.
