Análise econômica da integração lavoura-pecuária em sistema de ciclo completo

Abstract

This study was conducted with the objective of analyzing the economic viability of a crop-livestock system, where rice was planted annually integrated with a complete cattle cycle (calf to beef) system. Data were collected and analyzed from a rural propriety located at the city of Porto dos Gaúchos – MT from 1st of July 2015 to 30th of June 2016. To calculate the costs of production the operational cost method was used, where costs were divided into effective operational cost, total operational cost, and total cost. The gross revenue was R$ 8.993.863,55 (R$ 1.023,89 ha-1), was not enough to pay the effective operational cost of R$ 12.970.799,59 (R$ 1.476,64 ha -1 ). Consequently the total operational cost of R$ 13.771.918,78 (R$ 1.567,84 ha -1 ) and the total cost of R$ 14.981.082,35 (R$ 1.705,50 ha -1 ) also exceeded farm revenue. These results indicate that the farm was not profitable even with the adoption of an integrated crop-livestock system, being financially insolvent in both the short and long term. In conclusion, additional assessment to reduce costs is vital for this rural propriety as isincreasing agricultural productivity to increase revenues in greater proportion to any cost increases for any future management strategies.
