What We Do

Farm Inputs Review
and Contracts

Are you confident you are not paying too much for your farm inputs?
We work with you to implement the best procurement strategy to assist your specific business requirements

Assisting Suppliers of
Ag Inputs

Our experience in assisting corporate primary producers with their farm input procurement since 2009 has given us great insights into what they are looking for from the manufacturers and retailers of their farm inputs.

Agribusiness Acquisition
& Due Diligence

We have significant experience in providing operational and supply chain due diligence for proposed acquisition in the agribusiness sector.

Our Philosophy

Agriculture is an exceptional industry to have the privilege to work in – full of incredible people doing amazing things.  We get a kick out of helping our clients build on their current success through assisting them by delivering clear, executable plans and strategies

Our Methods

Our approach is to build an in-depth understanding of our client’s business, their short term requirements and longer term business objectives.  We then tailor client specific strategies that can be effectively implemented to drive rapid gains.

Building a great plan or strategy is of no use if it can’t be effectively implemented.  We take a hands on, practical approach to solving our client’s problems.

About Me

Rob Dawes has 35 years of procurement experience in agricultural inputs and has a passion for helping primary producers answer the question “am I paying a fair price for my farm inputs and services”.  Rob provides bench marking and ongoing hands on assistance to ensure his clients have transparent pricing, low cost and reliable supply of key agricultural inputs.

After growing up on a 50,000ha pastoral property, Rob was Dux of his year and gained honors recognition at agricultural college before completing an MBA (Agribusiness) at Monash University.

Rob’s procurement career included managing Elders entire procurement and input supply chain for what was in excess of a $1bn business unit with over 250 retail stores in 2008 before setting up his agribusiness consultancy in 2009.

In addition to holding a senior position in what is now Nutrien and having reported to the MD of Elders, Rob has worked in Australia’s largest farm animal focused veterinary business and held senior positions with two of the leading global manufacturers of farm inputs.

Rob has a clear focus on assisting all segments of the input supply chain to better service large private and corporate primary producers, along with undertaking other consultancy engagements within agribusiness, often with a strategy, due diligence or acquisition focus.

    The Sustainable Agricultural Fund (SAF) entered into non-exclusive supply agreements with Elders to deliver competitive pricing, preferential supply, exchange protection and logistics savings.
    Rob Dawes Consulting has played a pivotal role in the success of this relationship. Since 2009 Rob has had a relationship with SAF management providing procurement oversight across all the SAF aggregations.
    The structured review process conducted by Rob has delivered oversight and transparency that undoubtedly delivered savings to SAF.
    The review process undertaken by Rob and Elders was at all times conducted in a professional manner, delivering for all parties.

    As a senior Agribusiness input and supply chain executive, Rob Dawes is up there with the best. Having known Rob for well over 15 years and through a range of roles I have watched him perform admirably as both a market leader and in businesses under significant duress.

    His ability to connect the right parties and opportunities together through his extensive network both in Australia and abroad is quite unique.

    In recent times Rob has assisted us to work with our input suppliers to deliver greater value and focus to our business throughout our supply chains thus leading to better performance and improved efficiency across our operational locations and across the business.
