Viabilidade econômica e ambiental para a implantação de uma unidade armazenadora de grãos

Abstract

The economic and environmental analysis are essential to ensure soundness in the decision-making process for investment, providing both profitability and sustainability. The integration of these perceptions allows identifying the potential financial return, while considering environmental impacts, promoting more responsible choices aligned with the principles of sustainable development. Given this context, the objective of this study is to analyze the economic, financial, and environmental feasibility of the process of implementing a Grain Storage Unit on a rural property in the region of Nioaque in Mato Grosso do Sul. To this end, some financial indicators were applied to evaluate the investment: Net Present Value (NPV), Minimum Attractiveness Rate (MAR), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Payback Time. After the financial analysis, the environmental feasibility of the project was assessed using the impact assessment method in the different phases of the project (planning, implementation and operation), considering the significant impacts generated in the physical, biotic and socioeconomic environments. The results of the indicators showed that, when considering a MARR of 13.75%, an NPV of US$ 7.340.283,45 and an IRR of 58,76% were obtained, for a payback of 2 years and 1 month. For the three proposed revenue variations, only the -20% variation proved to be economically unfeasible. The others (-10% and -15%) indicated economic viability and pointed to the robustness of the project. The analysis of the valuation matrix classified the negative impacts of the project as weak (-11) and the positive ones were evaluated as moderate (16). Overall, the results confirmed the economic-financial and environmental feasibility of the project, indicating that it can be safely implemented.
