Análise de viabilidade de importação de fertilizantes para cooperativa de produtos agrícolas

Abstract

The present work aimed to analyze the economic feasibility of importing fertilizers for an agricultural products cooperative, focusing on exporters not involved in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In this sense, contact was made with professionals from fertilizer-importing companies, to learn about the market and its peculiarities. Then, together with the cooperative's professionals, the study of the feasibility of importing potassium chloride was defined. Soon after, a search was carried out to find an international supplier of potassium chloride. After choosing the supplier, information about the product and exporter was collected and the cost of importing the product was calculated. The results showed that, despite the quality of the product, the current price paid by the cooperative is more competitive than the price found in the present study. In this sense, under the conditions raised in the research, importation is not viable; however, future studies may evaluate other suppliers or even other fertilizers with import potential.
