Abstract

Em 2006 a área plantada de banana (Musa spp) no Acre foi de 8.916 ha, a área colhida de 8.896 ha, a produção de 75.589 toneladas e o rendimento médio de 8,49 t/ha, sendo a mesorregião do Vale do Acre a principal produtora com 56.805 toneladas, representando 75,14% da produção estadual (IBGE, 2008). A banana comprida, ou cultivar D’Angola, do Subgrupo Terra (AAB), é amplamente cultivada nesta região, sendo o município de Acrelândia o principal produtor. Não há informações a respeito do desempenho econômico dessa atividade, que possa orientar o planejamento de políticas agrícolas e os investimentos privados na atividade. Este trabalho objetivou avaliar o desempenho econômico-financeiro do sistema de produção tradicional de banana comprida, utilizado pelos produtores da região do Vale do Acre. A avaliação econômico-financeira do sistema baseou-se na abordagem de investimento, resultando na comparação de custos e receitas no horizonte de tempo definido pela vida útil esperada para a cultura da banana comprida. Para obter a composição de custos e receitas utilizou-se a técnica de orçamento total (HOFFMANN et al. 1987). As informações foram obtidas por meio de entrevistas e painel técnico. Os resultados mostram que o sistema utilizado é viável economicamente para as duas situações analisadas, ou seja, considerando os preços de 2007 e o preço histórico de comercialização.---------------------------------------------In 2006, the area under banana (Musa spp.) cultivation in Acre was 8,916 ha, the area harvested was 8,896 ha, production was 75,589 tons and the average yield was 8.49 t/ha, with the sub-region of the Acre Valley as the principal producer with a total of 56,805 tons which represents 75.14% of the state of Acre production (IBGE, 2008). The “long banana”, or the cultivar D’Angola, sub-group Terra (AAB), is widely cultivated in this region, with the municipality of Acrelândia being the main producer. There is no information regarding the economic viability of “long banana” cultivation that can guide the planning of agricultural policies and private investments in the activity. This work intends to evaluate the financial and economic success of the traditional production system of “long banana” used by producers in the Acre Valley region. The financial and economic evaluation was based on investments, resulting in a comparison of costs and revenues across time defined by the expected useful life of “long banana” cultivars. To assess the costs and revenues a total budgets technique (HOFFMAN et al. 1987) was used. The information was obtained via interviews and a technical panel. The results show that, considering prices in 2007 and historical market prices, the system used is economically viable for the two situations analyzed.
