Capacity Expansion: the existing farm enterprises
are expanded. It means more land under crops
or more head of livestock. It is designed to take
advantage of economies of scale (i.e. spreading
costs over more production). Greater efficiency is
also achieved because the farmer focuses only on
existing enterprises.
Replication: existing successful farm operations
are replicated (duplicated) in a different location.
The strategy is used when there is no possibility
of expanding the enterprise at the current location.
modernisation: the assets
of the business are not
expanded but are modernised so that production is
more efficient.

Entrepreneurship in farming
lowering costs: focuses on producing products at
the lowest possible cost. It is the most commonly used
strategy in farming. It involves finding less expensive
resources and inputs and using more efficient production
systems. It can also involve increasing volume to reduce
the per-unit cost. When products cost less to produce,
they can be sold at lower, more competitive prices and
still make profits.
