Economic Analysis of Two Eucalyptus Seedling Production Systems

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to carry through the economic analysis of two production systems of Eucalyptus grandis / Eucalyptus urophylla hybrid seedling. The data was collected in a forest nursery, which belonged to a Forest Company, located in the State of Minas Gerais. Production costs were quantified for the seedling obtained through the mini-cutting technique (SM), as well as for those produced through the system using seeds (SS). The two systems presented economically viable results; however, profitability varied between them, favoring the (SS) system. The economic analysis is important for the planning and implantation of this activity.
