Glossary:Manager of agricultural holding
Manager of the agricultural holding is the person responsible for the normal financial and production routines of running the holding.
The holder of the agricultural holding is, in most cases, also the manager. In this case the term holder-manager applies. However, if the holder is not the manager, they pass the responsibility of managing the holding to someone else, for example a member of the family, maybe a spouse, or a person with no family ties to the holder. In such cases the manager undertakes the day-to-day management of the holding without assumption of economic and legal responsibility for it (as these are the responsibilities of the holder).
Holdings can have:
- only one manager
- co-managers in the case where the holder shares the management with a spouse or family member
