Custos E Viabilidade Financeira Da Bananeira (Cavendish) Irrigada No Município De Aquidauana-Ms: Um Estudo De Caso

Economic analysis of fertilization management in ‘Prata-Anã’ Gorutuba banana plants

“…Culture treatments increased in % due to the expectation of production from the 1st year to the 2nd year; on the other hand, irrigation costs decreased, since the highest cost occurred in the system implementation in the 1st year of cultivation (Table 3). The same behavior was described by Pacheco et al (2016), Rodrigues et al (2018) and Do Couto et al (2020). Costs with seedlings, area preparation, inputs and labor for implantation and management of the banana plantation, excluding costs related to irrigation and application of the alternative treatment, accounted for most of the effective operational cost, about 85.1% in the first year and 88.5% in the second year.…”

“…The distribution of effective operational costs (EOC) in the first year of cultivation of 'Prata' Gorutuba banana for the central region of Minas Gerais, with the inclusion of the alternative treatment, was shown as the following percentages in the implementation stage: 58.19% of inputs, 10.63% of soil preparation and planting, 16.24% of culture and phytosanitary treatments, 9.21% of irrigation and 5.72% of alternative treatment (CM+3CS+1B), being the lowest cost of the 1st year (Table 3). In a study carried out by Pacheco et al (2016) during the implementation of a banana plantation in Aquidauana, Mato Grosso do Sul, costs on inputs represented 46.23% of the EOC due to the need to purchase seedlings, plastic bags and greater use of fertilizers. Rodrigues et al (2018) evaluated the economic and financial profitability for the implementation of a 'Prata Anã' banana plantation in Ipameri, Goiás, and found that inputs represented the highest costs in the year of crop implementation, representing 74.06% of the total operation cost (TOC) for the activity.…”

“…New managements demand higher costs that, due to lack of control, can reduce the profitability of the production system. According to Pacheco et al (2016), for banana cultivation to be viable, some production costs are necessary, including implantation of the area, soil maintenance, fertilization and costs of harvesting, transport and post-harvest, all of which are considered and analyzed necessarily before starting production. Therefore, knowledge about costs is essential, since they help in decision making (CARDOSO, 2020;DO COUTO et al, 2020).…”
