Estudo da Viabilidade Econômica - Financeira de Máquinas Agrícolas de uma Propriedade Rural em Chapadão do Sul - MS

Abstract

Agriculture is increasingly on the path of modernization. And, as a result, the way in which field work is carried out is being subsidized by machinery that is becoming more advanced and precise every day from planting to harvesting. In this context of modernization of agricultural equipment, this work aims to evaluate the viability of investing in a new generation of agricultural machinery, comparing the machines, the older STS 9770 and the newer S770 machine, and how they behave in relation to the quality and productivity of the soybean harvest, in the region of Chapadão do Sul - MS. Considering that any and all changes involving the economic and financial aspects of a company are raised, studied and monitored, the same is true in the agribusiness sector. To develop this study, a survey was conducted on the Indaiá I farm in the municipality of Chapadão do Sul - MS, where the economic viability of replacing older machinery with modern machinery was verified using the Multi-Index Methodology (MMI). This method was thus adapted to the new technological advances in agricultural mechanization. Thus, according to the analyses performed, it was clear how important it is to obtain this economic analysis in order to obtain a more accurate and reliable opinion to support decision-making. Furthermore, replacing harvesters can be a high-return investment for producers, since, even with a higher acquisition cost, the return on investment will occur quickly and with a low degree of risk for the producer.
