VinPro Cost Guide 2017/2018 out now
· 1 min read

The annual VinPro Cost Guide’s main focus is to supply producers and other stakeholders in the wine industry with easy-to-use cost information.
We aim to help producers with budgeting, planning and decision-making during the re-establishment of their vineyards. The guide is the ideal go-to tool for producers when they’re making financial decisions during the season.
The 2017/2018 guide includes the 2016 production costs and target income per district, establishment cost guidelines, trellis systems, cellar costs, labour guidelines and cost of mechanisation.
The guide gives an overview of the wine industry, a map of the respective districts and, in partnership with Santam, a chapter on harvest insurance.
The free VinPro Cost Guide is available upon request. It’s also included in the June issue of WineLand magazine and distributed at the annual production plan meetings. The electronic version is available on VinPro’s website: https://sales.vinpro.co.za/product/vinpro-cost-guide-201617/
