Forecasting helps you manage your stock against your feed availability by showing you how it is likely to trend based on your long terms averages (LTAs).
The destocking scenarios helps you plan for how you can take action on a forecast that shows that you will be overstocked in the next 6 months. This is a great way to see how much you need to destock and from which stock groups, so that you have a plan for when the time comes to destock.
You can also factor in differences in rainfall which will help you with you plan B, plan C and beyond, so you can be ready for whatever the weather brings.
