The Easy Cost app is a simple tool for estimating the cost of production, profitability, and cash flow of broiler and pig farms with integration contracts using the following production systems:
- Conventional broiler (CONV);
- Climate-controlled broiler (CLI);
- Dark house broiler (DARK);
- Weaned piglet production (UPD);
- Piglet production at nursery exit (UPL);
- Piglets in nursery (UC);
- Finishing pigs (UT);
- Wean-to-finish pigs (WTF).
It is aimed at producers, managers, technical assistance providers, and students.
To get started:
1 - Register (users of previous versions do not need to register again);
2 - Add a farm, providing its name, location, and production system;
3 - Add a plot and fill in the data on housing, performance, investment, family labor, and income and expenses.
The application allows you to estimate the cost of production, profitability, and cash flow of farms, with short, medium, and long-term analyses and negotiation tips.
You can add multiple farms and plots, as well as view indicators clearly and practically, check graphs, correct data, and generate detailed reports that can be shared via email or messaging applications.
All calculations follow the methodology used by Embrapa and the main agricultural economics research institutes in Brazil and worldwide.
The application offers a free library with content on management, cost of production, family labor, invested capital, and interpretation and negotiation tips, based on the free Embrapa course available on the e-Campo portal.
In addition, you can access statistics on the costs of users who submitted information to the application's database, validated and entered into Embrapa's Research Data Repository, Redape.
