Abstract

The analysis of the economic profitability of agricultural enterprises is an important tool for producers as it allows measuring the economic situation of the company showing the return on invested capital. The objective of this work is to analyze the economic profitability of the production of maize cultivated in intercropping with common bean in the 25 de Setembro cooperative in the period 2012-2014. To carry out the work, a questionnaire was made to the members of the cooperative in order to obtain data on the production process, reports on the production and sales of the cooperative were also used in order to determine the economic variables and profitability indicators. For the analysis and interpretation of the data, Microsoft Excel and the quantitative method were used. The results indicate that the corn production process in the Cooperative goes through eight phases, which are: soil preparation, background fertilization, bean sowing, cover fertilization, corn sowing, weeding, pest and disease control and finally harvest. . As for the economic variables, it was noted that an average of 884,600.00Mt was spent to produce 145,000Kg of maize and 22,000Kg of beans/ha, and the average productivity was 4,833.33Kg/ha of maize and 733.33Kg/ha of beans. The average gross revenue was 823,333.33Mt, while the cost and profit averaged 294,866.66Mt and 528,466.66Mt respectively, these results led to a cost-benefit ratio of 2.79Mt which means that for each metical invested in the production of corn and beans, a benefit of 2.79Mt was obtained, the gross margin was 64%, that is to say that for each metical invested in production, the cooperative obtained a profit of 64Mt, the coverage rate on operating costs was 179% or which means that for each metical invested in the production of these crops, the return was 179Mt. Based on the profitability indicators, it can be concluded that it is profitable for the cooperative to intercrop maize and common beans (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
