Productive and Economic Viability of Raising Beef Cattle in the Savanna of the Brazilian State of Goiás

Abstract

The present study evaluates the economic viability of four different models of beef cattle production in the rio Vermelho hydrographic basin. The study focuses on the traditional extensive ranching system, which was compared to three intensive systems, one based on low levels of concentrated supplementation, a second with low levels of concentrated supplementation and confinement for fattening and an intensive grazing system, with supplementation during the dry and rainy seasons. The investments were estimated for the different levels of technical specifications of each system. The net present values and internal return rate were used for the assessment of the economic viability of the project, considering the minimum rate of attractiveness, equivalent to the inflation-adjusted savings interest rate (6.17%). The continuity of the sector was evaluated based on the gross and net margins, and profitability rates, where the system is already installed. All four systems had gross and net margins and profitability consistent with their economic sustainability over both the short and long terms. However, only two systems (reduced consumption of concentrated supplements and the intensive grazing system) were economically viable as start-ups.

Assessing the Wall-To-Wall Spatial and Qualitative Dynamics of the Brazilian Pasturelands, between 2010 and 2018, Based on the Analysis of the Landsat Data Archive

“…Better management and, consequently, a higher proportion of non-degraded pastures, does not always indicate a change in the owner's behavior or perception in relation to livestock, but rather a social dynamic in which owners who choose extensive livestock activities tend to migrate to frontier regions, where, with a lower land price, larger areas can be acquired, and continue to practice extensive cattle raising. The areas they occupied tend to be acquired by actors with greater capital and therefore with the necessary means to maintain intensive livestock farming, often bringing experiences and concepts from other sectors, resulting in professional administration for the livestock activity (Oliveira and Couto, 2018). Thus, it is expected that the proportion of areas with better quality pastures will increase in regions of consolidated use, as observed in this study.…”

Economic viability of a crop-livestock integration system

“…In a medium-sized farm of 300 ha, beef cattle production system with 20% of pasture area managed intensively in input use showed IRR of 4.2% (IIS, 2015). an IRR of 6.87% was reported in a system with intensive management of pasture and feed supplementation (olIveIRa & CouTo, 2018). haRFuCh et al 2016found an IRR of Table 4 -Technical coefficients of the ClI system and the CC system (6 ha of each system).…”

Gastos em educação: Um estudo sobre a destinação de recursos no orçamento público na região metropolitana de Maringá

“…Sendo, FC0 = Investimento inicial; FCn = Fluxos de Caixa (FC1, FC2, FC3... FC15); n = cada período; N = Período Total (15); VPL = Valor Presente Líquido; TIR = Taxa Interna de Retorno. A Margem Bruta é um indicador utilizado na avaliação econômica do setor agropecuário, pois evidencia se a receita bruta cobre todos os efetivos desembolsos monetários realizados pelo produtor, sugerindo se a propriedade apresenta viabilidade em curto prazo (Guiducci, Lima Filho & Mota, 2012;Oliveira & Couto, 2019). Caso o resultado seja positivo o produtor consegue cobrir os custos variáveis que efetivamente incorrem em desembolso.…”

“…Para a realização do cálculo, utiliza-se o lucro operacional por se permitir comparar com outros investimentos disponíveis no mercado. O resultado da rentabilidade pode ser apresentado em valores (medida absoluta) ou em índice (Nogueira, 2007;Oliveira & Couto, 2019). Para se obter a rentabilidade de uma atividade pode-se utilizar a seguinte fórmula:…”
