ANÁLISE DA VIABILIDADE ECONÔMICA DA PRODUÇÃO DE PEIXES EM TANQUES-REDE NO RESERVATÓRIO DE ITAIPU

Abstract

The present work had objective to analyze the economic-financial viability of aquaculture projects investment in cages for native species (jundiá, pacu and curimba). Aquaculture/fishculture inside of agribusiness has been presenting a growing interest and it should continue like this next decades, tends in view the stagnation in the fish offer originating from of the capture and of the growing increase in the demand for food with the increment of the world population. The increase of the consumption of fish and the progress of the aquaculture demand information for taking of decision about the economic viability of the enterprises in this area, mainly to native species. The investors, producers, technicians, fomentation organs and other institutions affect to the area, need safe information for taking decision about economic-financial viability of aquaculture/fishculture projects. In this sense this work verified that the production of native species in cages in the reservoir of Itaipu is unviable for the species jundiá (Rhamdia quelen) and curimba (Prochilodus lineatus), and viable for the Pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus), which presented better adaptive to the production system and the climatic conditions. Analysis of Investment Return, Rate of Return, profitable Index, Internal Return Rate (IRR), Net Present Value (NPV) and Payback Period, all favorable ones were shown positively, with positive probability of occurrence ranging between 5% to 95% (90%) of the return of investment in a period among two (2) for three (3) years for the Monte Carlo simulation method.
