- The SIGCHA is a planning and economic simulation software that allows the horticultural farmer to:
- Plan its crop calendar, easily visualising the territory's distribution.
- Estimate the amounts of production available for commercialization during the following months.
- Calculate the input-requirements
- Model the wage payments.
- Plan investments for machinery and/or new production techniques.
- Evaluate the convenience of receiving credits.
- Foresee incomes and expenses throughout the period of time assessed and have a compact perspective of the business.
- The potential of the SIGCHA relies on the possibility to simulate different scenarios (for diverse periods of time) by means of taking into consideration modifications on any of the available variables. The software processes all the information related to each possible scenario in order to compare them through different economic indicators that are displayed in a compact dashboard.
