Collective deals save farmers time and money

Arable farmer Chris Hollingsworth found urea prices were 14% lower in the Farmdeals urea collective than other suppliers, which made a real difference to the farm’s bottom line.

In an industry where efficiency and cost-effectiveness are paramount, UK arable farmer Chris Hollingsworth’s experience with Farmdeals’ urea collective deal is a testament to the innovative approach Farmdeals is bringing to agricultural purchasing.

As a first-time user of Farmdeals’ collective buying service, Chris said was astounded by the exceptional value and convenience offered, highlighting the significant savings and streamlined process.

“In June, I tapped into Farmdeals urea collective and was astounded to find the prices 14% lower than other suppliers – a significant saving in our farm business input costs.

“I’ve previously relied on various buying groups in the past, but none have matched the cost-effectiveness that Farmdeals offers. The 14% cheaper rate really made a difference to our bottom line. The ordering and delivery process impressed me the most. It was incredibly easy and stress-free, which is a rarity inside farming.”

By aggregating demand for essential supplies like fertiliser, Farmdeals is enabling farmers to negotiate better prices and terms from suppliers. This not only reduces costs but also fosters a sense of community and mutual support among farmers.

The process of participating in these collective deals is straightforward and accessible. Farmers can register for free via the Farmdeals website. By removing financial barriers to entry, Farmdeals opens the door for more farmers to benefit from collective bargaining power.

This deal promises to offer urea at prices significantly lower than the market rate, addressing a major pain point for farmers – high input costs. The success of such deals not only helps in reducing expenses but also aids in improving the overall profitability and sustainability of farming practices.
