Análise econômica da produção de frango de corte sob condições de risco no estado do Paraná

Abstract

Poultry production is an important economic activity in the state of Paraná, and as any other, is under risk. In this context, economic analysis of broilers integrated management was employed to evaluate the risks, considering the acclimatized, automated and manual systems. By using the risk variables: price of product, productivity and costs of production, it was possible to identify the main risk sources and their influence on the net income. The results showed that the profitability of activity is more sensitive to the components of proceeds than to the costs, being the price the most sensitive variable. We also verified that the acclimatized poultry house has possibilities of higher loss for lower levels of risk, and the higher the risk the most interesting the earnings, in comparison to the automated and manual systems. The manual system was the one that presented earnings in higher levels of risk (above 25%).
