As per the table above, cost of production can be calculated in either $/hd, $/ha or c/kg grsy. These cost of production calculations can be used to determine profit objectives and hence aid in determining a marketing strategy when setting reserves,. In the following section, "Budgeting" the c/kg grsy figure can be used.

Each of these budgeting figures can also be used in benchmarking programs on a district/state/national basis.
