TURF MARKET REPORT

Please find attached a Lawn Solutions Australia Turf Market Report for Winter / Spring 2015 provided for Turf Queensland use by Simon Adermann.

This report has been generated from market indicators and various sources to compile the data. Whilst the demand for turf is on the increase and predictions tell us that this spring and summer will be at an all time high and stock issues within the turf industry may result with limited supply for customers.

However now is the time to consider the increased cost of farm inputs and operating expenses to develop effective sales plans. So now, with a strong market demand and stock in short supply cost absorbing can be put behind us and we can look forward to a busy profitable time ahead.

CPI index and inflation rates are running at around 2% and other operating costs have increased between 8-13% for the year – there will be no other option than to increase pricing in line with the cost increases.

Trusting this market information is helpful to you.
