Análise de viabilidade econômica do cultivo de pirapitinga, Piaractus brachypomus (CUVIER, 1818) em tanque-rede no Baixo Tocantins, Estado do Pará

Abstract

This work aims to evaluate the economic viability feasibility of deploying cages for growing pirapitinga in communities on the Baixo Tocantins, more precisely in the municipalities of Baiao, Igarapé Miri, Mocajuba, Cametá and the Limoeiro do Ajuru. The study is based on the estimation of a cycle of 10 months, with a production of 54,000 kg / cycle. We used the structure proposed by Operating Cost MATSUNAGA et al. (1976). The group of leading indicators of economic viability (PE, NPV, IRR, RBC and PRC) points to a positive outlook in terms of profitability and conditions of development of fish farming. In terms of leveling point or equilibrium (PE) in ali municipalities the ratio was below 61% of gross revenues of the enterprises. The Recovery Period of Capital was not in any observation greater than half the period of the planning horizon of the project (10 years), with values ranging from one year, six months and nine days in Baião while the minimum for recovery of fixed capital, up to four years, nine months and four days in Mocajuba.
