AHT231 Agricultural Finance (8)
You will find this to be a very applied subject in which you will develop skills and knowledge needed to appraise possible agricultural business investment decisions. The learning will be invaluable for anyone involved with any agricultural business, irrespective of its size or location.
You will engage with the subject area through problem solving contexts derived from actual case situations. Once underlying principles are understood, you utilise project budgets to analyse and compare alternative investments using capital budgeting techniques while recognising and weighing the social and environmental considerations associated with such investments. The source, range and suitability of different types of loan finance available for investment in agricultural business development projects are examined and strategies explored for obtaining such finance.
