It was performed a simulation in order to compare the profitability of a cheese producer dairy farm, located in Nepomuceno city, Minas Gerais state. According to the simulation, data of the production system were compared in two different situations: cheese production (real) and selling milk to dairy. The cheese production and marketing was more profitable than milk selling, representing an alternative to increase the productor’s income.
