Viabilidade financeira da produção de café irrigado em regiões aptas ao cultivo não irrigado

Resumo

Due to new economic order, agricultural business is of the same complexity, importance and dynamics of other sectors of the economy, requiring farmers to have a new outlook on how to run their business. Thus, it becomes necessary to economicaly analyze the activity you begin to know the details and to use the production factors intelligently and cost efficiently. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the cost of production of arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) irrigated with a central pivot in the region of Lavras, MG. The experimental design was randomized blocks with six treatments and three repetitions. The treatments consisted of water levels applied according to the percentages of crop coefficients values (Kc), currently used by irrigators in the region of Lavras, and evapotranspiration reference (ET0), that is: Tr1 = 0; Tr2 = 60%KcET 0 , Tr3 = 80%KcET 0 , Tr4 = 100% KcET 0 , Tr5 = 120% KcET 0 e Tr6 = 140%KcET 0 . For the process of estimating the cost of production, conceptualized as the sum of values of all resources and operations used in the production process of the activity, we used the calculation of depreciation and alternative cost. The average productivity achieved with the treatments was 29.31, 39.51, 51.12, 60.65, 63.82 and 74.84 bags per hectare for Tr1, Tr2, Tr3, TR4, TR5 and Tr6 respectively. Considering the price of a bag of coffee at $ 250.00, the economic analysis showed that, at this price level, irrigated coffee production is economically viable, and irrigation management, with water replacement calculated based on 100 % of the value of Kc, resulted in higher profits.
