Level Up Hort

2026 Roadshow

Two Hours of Power:

Finding the extra margin in your business

Why attend this event?

Costs are up. Inputs are tight. Prices are under pressure.

If your instinct is that there’s nothing left to give – the national vegetable benchmark data says otherwise.

The most profitable vegetable growers in Australia aren’t spending less than everyone else. They’re spending more per hectare — and generating almost four times the profit ($16,821 EBIT/ha vs. an average of $4,311/ha).

The difference isn’t the season. It’s where and how well that spend converts into margin.

That’s what this session is built to find in your business.

What happens in the room

In under two and a half hours, you’ll walk through Riverbend Produce — a live case study business — with our specialist panel, session by session, uncovering exactly where hidden margin sits across the four levers that drive vegetable business profitability:

  • Inputs to Income — which spend is generating profit, and which is habit
  • Labour Productivity — getting more output from the same team
  • Enterprise Optimisation — are you growing the right crops on the right ground
  • Price Realisation — negotiating from data and confidence, not guesswork

 

Watch the Profit Tracker build in real time as our specialists find Riverbend’s next $200,000 of margin – then apply the same four levers to your own business – identify where the opportunities lie.

What you'll walk away with

  • A clear view of where your own 1%, 2% or 3% gains are sitting – right now, in your own operation
  • An understanding that a handful of small, compounding shifts across these four levers can realistically mean 5-10% back to you in margin
  • A practical way to respond to rising costs and tighter supply – instead of just absorbing them
  • Key actions and solutions to apply immediately in your business – not theory, clear goals with actionable targets

WHAT TO BRING

Just yourself, an open mind, and a rough sense of your numbers.

You won’t need spreadsheets or a login.

Everything happens on paper, on the day, and stays with you – no numbers shared with the room.
