Análise da viabilidade financeira da produção de goiaba no distrito de Boane

Abstract

Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is a tropical fruit with high global acceptance, with major production in countries such as Brazil, India, China, Kenya, and Thailand. In Mozambique, despite favorable climate and soil conditions, commercial cultivation is still limited and predominantly subsistence-based. This study evaluated the financial viability of guava production in the Boane District, using secondary data from Miombo Consultores Lda. A 10- year cash flow was projected, and key financial indicators—including Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Payback period, and Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCT)—were calculated. The results indicate the project’s viability, with NPV of 1.919.500,64 MZN, IRR of 33%, Payback in 3 years, and BCR of 1.94. Thus, establishing a guava orchard in the Boane District is feasible, as it will provide positive returns for producers
