Abstract

The \'Niagara Rosada\' (Vitis labrusca) is the main cultivar of table grape produced in São Paulo State. This cultivar is rustic and has lower production cost than other grapes cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.). In São Paulo State, its production is concentrated in the Rural Development Offices (RDO) of Campinas, Itapetininga and Jales, and this grape has been cultivated in different production systems. This work aims to analyze the economic viability of \'Niagara Rosada\' at main RDO producers of São Paulo State. Therefore, panels and case studies were made with grape growers to assess the production cost and to calculate profitability and investment analysis for the crop. At Campinas RDO, the main season and the second season were evaluated, and the Total Cost (TC) obtained was R$ 1.57 per kilo, with R$ 0.89 per kilo of Total Net Revenue (TNR). Considering only the Campinas RDO main season, the decrease of grape production increased the production cost and reduced profitability, the TC reached was R$ 1.81 per kilo and TNR R$ 0.17 per kilo. At Itapetininga RDO main season, the TC calculated in the panel was R$ 1.33 per kilo, and the TNR was R$ 0.47 per kilo. Meanwhile, at second season, the lower productivity increased TC to R$ 2.04 per kilo, but the higher price caused a TNR of R$ 0.75 per kilo. At Jales RDO, TC was increased to R$ 2.36 per kilo, however the high selling prices in the off-season in São Paulo State resulted in TNR of R$ 0.83 per kilo. For the investment analysis during eight producing years, considering the land value, Campinas RDO showed the lowest Net Present Value (NPV), R$ 12,142.02 by hectare, with an Intern Rate Return (IRR) of 3% by year and discounted payback of eight years. At Itapetininga RDO, was considered a cost and revenue average between two seasons (main and second) and NPV obtained was R$ 28,313.03 per hectare and IRR of 8% by year, with a discounted payback at the sixth year of production. At Jales RDO, due high selling prices, the NPV was the highest, R$ 97,596.77 per hectare, 14% of IRR by year and discounted payback at five years. According to the results, it was possible to conclude that grape production is profitable, despite the production system, and has a positive return for familiar agriculture. Despite that, each RDO has its own characteristics in terms of production and commercialization of grapes, requiring knowledge and good management by the grape growers. (AU)
