VIABILIDADE ECONÔMICA DO CULTIVO DE SOJA (Glycine max) EM SISTEMA SEQUEIRO NO MUNICÍPIO DE MORRINHOS – GO

Abstract

Soybean is one of the most produced and exported agricultural products. Brazil is the largest producer of the grain, with emphasis on the states of Goiás, Mato Grosso, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul. Estimates of the costs and profits of a given agricultural activity are essential tools for the short-term decision-making process, as they allow a glimpse of the current context and the assessment of the economic viability of different types of agricultural activity. The objective of this work is to calculate the economic viability of soybean producing properties in the State of Goiás, based on harvest data. The analysis will be carried out based on the total production costs, whose data were obtained in data collection. Among the techniques used, the most relevant were the Net Present Value (NPV), the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Payback (PB). The results pointed to positive profitability, generating an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 39%, with the minimum rate of return considered for investment in the agricultural sector being 24%.
