Abstract

Dada a necessidade de se conhecer melhor a viabilidade econômica e energética da mamona (Ricinus communis) para o Estado do Ceará, enquanto um dos maiores produtores de oleaginosas no Nordeste do Brasil, o presente trabalho foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de elaborar um balanço econômico e energético da produção de mamona para obtenção de biodiesel no Estado do Ceará. A pesquisa foi realizada nos Municípios de Boa Viagem, Tauá e Pedra Branca. Foram utilizados os dados primários recolhidos dos produtores em entrevistas diretas. Na análise da rentabilidade foram consideradas as receitas e os custos de produção por hectare nos municípios selecionados. Os principais resultados obtidos na pesquisa indicam que a produção de mamona cearense nos três municípios analisados mostrou-se rentável, tendo sido a utilização de mão-de-obra familiar um fator primordial para se ter o baixo custo de produção. Em relação ao balanço energético, constatou-se que foi positivo para os municípios analisados, assumindo o valor igual a 1,52 para amostra total.------------------------------------------------In oder to know the economic and energetic balance of castor seed (Ricinus communis) for the State of Ceará, one of the main producers of in Northeast of Brazil, the present study work has been developed aiming to elaborate economic and energetic balance of castor seed production for obtaining biodiesel. The primary data were collected in Boa Viagem, Tauá and Pedra Branca municipalities. For profit analysis, income and production cost per hectare of castor seed in selected municipalities were considered. It was observed that on the average, 12,91% of interviewed farmers are using more than 80% of the recommended techniques. The castor seed production in all the three selected municipalities is economically feasible, without considering the cost related to family labor. Energy production and consumption ratio of 1.52 indicates that the each unit of energy spent on producing castor and biodiesel generates 1.52 unit of energy.
