The grain’s storage infrastructure has not been following the national production’s growth.

As to the nature of this work is applied and in relation to the objectives, it is a descriptive research. As a technical research procedure, this work is classified as modeling and simulation. A survey of costs involved in the acquisition and operation of storage units was necessary. Aiming at an in deep study, eighteen scenarios have been created, they alternate between the producer’s size, payment method and variations in revenue. The methods of analysis used to ensure that the goal was achieved were Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Payback and Payback Discounted. Based on the results found, the enterprise proved to be feasible for thirteen of the eighteen scenarios produced. The main conclusion of this study is that for small producers, investments in rice’s storage units are not economically viable.
