A viabilidade econômica da transição entre culturas agrícolas

Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the production of strawberries bring economic returns equivalent to or greater than the cultivation of tobacco, using the same agricultural area on a property located in the municipality of Restinga Seca-RS, i.e. whether the transition of crops would be feasible. The motivation for research considers the fact that there is a law, which entered into force in 2005, called the framework Convention, which deals with, among other issues, the economically viable alternatives to tobacco production, and also the consequences to health, acute and chronic exposure to pesticides. The data collection through interview with a producer of the municipality. Was considered to be the production of 70,000 feet of smoke that would generate a ton or 665 kg dry smoke 9,975. The cost to produce it would be of R$ 58,554.00 and projected revenues of R$ 70,490.00. On the cultivation of the strawberry was considered the production of 26,000 plants, which generated 13,000 kg of commercial strawberries with R$ 51,091.72 production cost and total revenue of R$ 130,000.00. It was noted that the transition is economically viable, because the return of R$ 78,908.28 is much higher than the annual return that would bring that fumicultura would be R$ 11,936.00.
