Abstract
The study aims to assess the economic feasibility of biodiesel production in association with others by family farmers in the town of Corbelia/PR. Biodiesel is presented as a partial alternative to socio-economic and environmental oil or total replacement of diesel oil, thus requiring studies on its economic viability. The work was developed through a case study to verify the economic feasibility of installing a biodiesel plant with other associations by family farmers. The raw materials used for oil extraction were soybean, sunflower and canola, depending on the meal being used in animal nutrition. Cash flows were developed, with the costs and revenues before and after installation of the project. From the cash flow, Net Present Value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR) and payback period of capital (payback) were calculated. The IRR of the project was 49%, the NPV was US$ 32, 283, 35 and payback was 2.03 years. The combined production of biodiesel presented economic viability with interaction between the activities of the property. ​Key words: Association, farmers, bio-energy.
