Análise da viabilidade econômica da implantação de um pivô de irrigação em uma propriedade rural do município de Condor/RS

Abstract

The present work aimed to analyze the economic viability of the implantation of a fixed central pivot for an irrigated area of 50 ha, in soybean farming of a farmer in the municipality of Condor/RS, through financing with funds from the PRONAMP Investimentos program. Irrigation can be built into an existing system as a way of ensuring production, increased productivity and product quality. The use of irrigation techniques aims to meet the water needs of crops throughout their cycle. For economic viability analysis, profitability and risk indicators were used, and Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Benefit/Cost Ratio (RB/C) were constructed and analyzed. . With an update factor of 7% per annum, the project's IRR stood at -6,20% and the NPV was R $ -31.191,64, which does not indicate the economic viability of the investment. The Cost Benefit Ratio (RB/C), at the level of 0,9736, indicates that the sum of the updated revenues were not greater than the total of the updated costs. Therefore, it was found that it is not feasible to invest the pivot for irrigated area of 50 ha, in adapting the PRONAMP program to the needs of farmers.
