TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF THE PRODUCTION OF GUIABA (Psidium guajava) IN THE SOUTHWEST OF THE BAHIAN SEMI-ARID

Abstract

Objective was to analyze the production costs, besides the profitability. Analyzes were carried out from the implementation until the production stability of the crop in 10 years horizon. The indicators used for the technical-economic feasibility analysis were: net present value (NPV), cost benefit raio (RB / C), internal rate of return (IRR) and payback, safety margin (MS), leveling point (PN), gross revenue and net revenue. According to cash flow, the NPV resulted in R $ 188,423.28/ha; RB / C is 7; IRR corresponding to 102%; 1.6-year payback payback; safety margin of -0.9%; respective leveling point of 2,514,83 kg/ha; gross revenue of R $ 40,000.00/ha and the resulting net revenue of R $ 34,970.35/ha. Guava cultivation proved to be viable with a 10-year planning horizon, with NPV, IRR, MS, B / C and PN values ​​favorable to the producer. Such viability is already proven in the second year of production, when the cash flow shows a positive balance. It is important to note that, the project can present significant differences, depending on region, the types of seedlings, the marketing costs, which can cause the results to be different from those presented in this research.
