VIABILIDADE ECONÔMICA PARA O CULTIVO DO TAMBAQUI (Colossoma macropomum) EM VIVEIRO ESCAVADO NO MUNICÍPIO DE URUPÁ – RONDÔNIA

Abstract

O estudo teve como objetivo analisar a viabilidade econômica de uma piscicultura localizada no município de Urupá-RO, por meio dos indicadores econômicos, com ênfase no período de retorno de capital (Payback), valor presente líquido (VPL) e taxa interna de retorno (TIR). Os custos com ração para engorda representaram 81,06%. O empreendimento obteve Payback de cinco anos e seis meses, e uma média de índice de lucratividade de 46,18%. No entanto, a taxa interna de retorno (TIR) expressou-se acima da taxa mínima de atratividade chegando ao sexto ano com 17,0% e VPL positivo para o sexto ano de cultivo de R$ 21.098,41. As projeções realizadas demonstram viabilidade operacional ao longo do tempo. Portanto, a piscicultura possui viabilidade econômica para investimento, porque o valor empregado na atividade é recuperado, com potencial de gerar excedente e se manter exequível ao longo do tempo.

Chemical composition of commercial tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) cuts in different body weight classes (Amazon: Brazil)

“…The global demand for fish has undergone a significant increase in recent decades, mainly due to population growth and the search for consumers for healthier foods (FAO, 2018;Valenti et al, 2021). In this context, fish farming appears as a viable alternative to continue increasing supply in the coming years (Brabo et al, 2016;Martins et al, 2020). Among the countries with potential, the Brazil has a prominent role, mainly due to water availability, favorable climate and natural occurrence of aquatic species that make zootechnical and market interests compatible (BRASIL, 2013).…”

“…These results were achieved due to climatic conditions, the proximity of a large consumer market, added to the high availability of water, highlight Rondônia in Brazilian aquaculture production (Meante & Dória, 2017). It is worth mentioning that the water condition, added to cultural and socioeconomic factors, has favored and presented in fish farming, a significant growth which, in recent years, has been highlighted by its expansion, investment and profitability (Costa et al, 2015;Martins et al, 2020).…”

“…The balanced foods are essential for the success of commercialization, however the costs of captive feeding, depending on the managed production system, can reach 80% of the total costs (Martins et al, 2020;Porto et al, 2020;. In this sense, it is important to carry out evaluations of zootechnical indexes, mainly with regard to feed conversion and carcass yields (Cavali et al, 2020).…”

Artificial aeration promotes better zootechnical performance and physiological balance of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) cultivated in a system without continuous water flow (Amazon: Brazil)

“…Other factors that motivated the creation of C. macropomum in the Amazon, were the easy obtaining of juveniles, the high growth potential, the use of primary natural food, and the high productivity and rusticity (Chamy et al, 2015;Martins et al, 2020). The consumption of fish in Brazil grows, surpassing the annual per capita consumption of 14 kg per inhabitant, which surpassed that recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), 12 kg per inhabitant per year (FAO, 2018).…”

“…The tambaqui corresponded to about 29% of the national fish production, in the Amazon it corresponded to more than two thirds of the creations (Peixe BR, 2020). As a result, the growing demand for commercially sized fish has contributed to the development of fish farming (Martins et al, 2020).…”
