Compare FPI

How to get to the Compare FPI Page

Compare scenarios by checking the boxes of two scenarios and clicking the ‘Compare’ button.

If you wish to just look at one scenario, or view the definitions for each indicator, then navigate to the Farm Performance Indicators page.

Key FPI Indicators

This function compares the profitability of two different scenarios as well as various other key Farm Performance Indicators. For example, important measures like Gross Margin, Operating Return, Return on Investment and Casual Labour Hours are compared between two different management practice or farming system scenarios.

*Make sure to put the "Before" scenario on the left hand side and the "After" scenario on the right hand side. 

• Therefore, the difference (far right) column will be the "After" column subtract the "Before" Scenario.
• An increase will be shown as a positive number with an upwards arrow and a decrease will be shown as a negative number with a downwards arrow.
• Figures that are the same in both scenarios have a difference of zero.
