Financial evaluation of technology in dairy production: improvements in profitability and agricultural administrative management

Abstract

For this research, the objective was established to financially evaluate the technology in dairy production: improvements in profitability and agricultural administrative management. Regarding the study, it is descriptive in nature, with absolute and relative frequency statistics, carried out through intentional opinion sampling of thirty (30) production units (P.U.), representative of the study universe made up of 154 farms. . They were surveyed with the purpose of obtaining the necessary data on these production systems, which indicate the following: first, the units were classified by blocks according to the surface in order to be able to evaluate their productivity in relation to productive indicators, such as productivity by area, productivity per animal unit (A.U.) and productivity per labor force. Of all the farms subject to study, twenty-nine (29) were located at the medium technology level according to their productive indicators; the productivity per surface is 3.23 liters (L.) per hectare (has); Productivity per animal unit (U.A.) is 5.94 L./U.A. and labor 134.2 L. per hour subtracting one (1) U.P. which presented a productivity of 2.2L/ha for surface, 2.5 L. U.A. and for labor 50 L./H. It should be noted that these productivities were compared; From these comparisons, differences were found in terms of productivity indicators in percentage terms: 96.70% of the units were of the medium technology level since they have the technological requirements; Therefore, producers were recommended to establish consolidation programs that take into account technology based on the productive performances that were demonstrated through the aforementioned productive indicators and the existing relationship between technology and productivity.
