Abstract

Considering that strawberries are attractive to the market, and considering the new varieties adapted to the tropical climate of the cerrado and new cultivation technologies, the present work aimed to evaluate the economic viability of strawberry production in a cultivation system in a protected environment. and using substrate in slabs, in different economic scenarios, to support decision-making by farmers in the municipality of Morrinhos-Go who wish to invest in this activity. In preparing this work, implementation costs and strawberry production were taken into account in an agronomic project with cash flow for 10 years using literature data, Excel digital tool and economic indicators, proposing 3 production scenarios, with the same area and costs implementation, but with different sales values and delivery destination. Scenario 1 = price per kg according to the average price of Ceasa de Goiânia, considering fuel costs for sales destination of 732 liters/year; Scenario 2 = price per kg for the final consumer according to the current market in the municipality of Morrinhos-Go, assuming fuel expenditure for sales destination of 120 liters/year; Scenario 3= sale of kg for the average price of scenarios 1 and 2, adhering to the expenditure on fuel for a sales destination of 120 liters/year. Strawberry production in slabs in the Morrinhos-Go region presents viability taking into account the Scenarios 2 (IRR 107%) and 3 (IRR 45%), scenario (1) in which the sale to Ceasa de Goiânia was calculated, appears unfeasible.
