hire farm managers in africa

Owners and investors hire a farm manager when they cannot be on the land every day and need someone to run the team, the budget and the crop calendar. A good farm manager keeps costs under control, protects your assets and delivers harvests on time, with honest reporting you can follow from afar.

What to check when screening

  • Ask about the size of the farms and teams they managed, and the crops or animals involved.
  • Check how they track costs, inputs, stock and yields, on paper or in software.
  • Ask for references from previous owners, ideally ones who were not on site.
  • Check they are ready to live and work in a rural area if the job requires it.

Questions to ask in interview

  • The rains come late and the planting calendar slips. How do you adjust?
  • How do you stop inputs or produce from going missing?
  • What would your monthly report to an owner living abroad contain?
