Notes
- The cost items reflect the input allocation based on the target yield for the respective crops.
- Although some expenditure items are zero, it is reflected in the budgets to allow for individual inclusion.
- The cost of fuel includes pre-harvest and harvesting costs with the assumption that own machinery is used.
- The costs for wheat, barley and oats seeds reflect a combination of own and purchased seed.
- It is important to note that overhead costs are not included and should be accounted for.
