Análise econômica de Eucalipto para fins energéticos no município de Dois Vizinhos - PR

Abstract

Often, farmers with small farms, are influenced by the paradigm of conventional crops is best return on their properties, and lack of knowledge of other cultures, eventually occupying the entire area with only one crop. The fact that part of your property may not be as favorable to the use of these cultures by presenting high slope or inadequate (degraded areas, hillsides) is commonly ignored. So the question arises: does the use of this area can not be more profitable with the cultivation of eucalyptus? Given the reality is, this study is of great importance, because through economic analysis of eucalyptus with all necessary care, producers can evaluate the option of conducting planting eucalyptus on their property, where they begin using areas that are not being well used or are idle in their property, making diversification of production, without relying solely on one particular crop, thus becoming more "resistant" to the risks involved in the follow-up, ensuring their financial stability. The objective of this work is to make the economic analysis of Eucalyptus for energy purposes. There are several evaluation methods, those who do not consider the variation of the capital in time, suitable for very short planning horizons (where there is no inflation) and those who consider the variation of the capital in time that they are: net present value (NPV ), internal rate of return (IRR), ratio benefit / cost (B / C), periodic value equivalent (PLV). Which were calculated separately for investment studied. The cost and revenue data were obtained randomly in the region of Dois Vizinhos, during the year 2013, and addressed various professionals in forestry. The result of the analysis indicated an NPV of R $ 3,043.11 / ha, IRR of 17.1788%, ratio B / C 1.79, CMP R $ 13.93 / m³ and a VPE R $ 618.85 / ha / year. We conclude that the activity is profitable and that despite the long-term feature, forestry activities is an excellent alternative to diversify production and income on small farms, and thus, extra entries in the cash flow, which generates a point exhaust adverse moments of the property.
