Abstract

In Mozambique, family farming plays a fundamental role in generating income for rural families. In the particular case of the Boane district, family farming, despite being practiced in an artisanal manner, characterized by low technological dissemination, without the use of hybrid seeds and low use of fertilizers, stands out as the main dominant activity developed by family units. Given the importance of this activity in boosting the development of the local economy, this research will analyze the economic profitability of family farming in the Boane district. This analysis will be done by identifying the main types of economically profitable crops practiced in family farming in the Boane district. After identifying the main economically profitable crops, the total production costs, rate of return on investment over operational costs and total profit of the main economically profitable crops will be determined. Finally, the total production costs, rate of return on investment over operating costs and total profit of the main crops of economic profitability of family producers will be analyzed. To this end, the quantitative research methodology will be used based on the analysis of the variables Total Production Costs (TCPs), Rate of Return on Investment over Operating Costs (TRICO), Cost-Benefit Ratio (RCB) and Total Profit (TL). The questionnaire will be the instrument that will be used for data collection. (TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
