The Economic Evaluation and Financial Analysis of Dairy Farms in Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari Province (Case Study of Shahrekord County)

This study aims to measure total factor productivity by considering two new approaches in industrial dairy farms in Shahrekord County. The necessary data were collected through completion of questionnaire from 40 dairy farms by stratified random sampling method in the year 2012. The results showed that average gross income and total production cost were less in small and medium farms as compared to large farms. Since production per unit of production requires. These factors are combined with human conscious. A traditional method of industrial production in the livestock industry has changed. Activities, such as dairy farms are of important agricultural activities and awareness and profitability condition of these farms for the purpose of investment and financial planning can be very effective. Hence, in this study, net present value of NPV, cost, benefit ratio, total productivity, benefit, cost ratio and net present value NPV are used. In this regard, a number of units of dairy farms were studied and Financial and economic indicators showed the average profitability and financial feasibility of these types of activities and we founded that Policies to maintain stable revenues from the dairy farm inputs prices are higher priority than stability for Production inputs. The result showed that relative differences between the financial measures of economic indicators are important to continue these poultices. The methods that used for economic evaluation of the projectʹs present value, were benefit cost ratio, internal rate of return. The results show that it is mainly the higher unit capacity, the net present value of the project increases. The results show that total factor productivity of the farms studied is equal to 1.34, accordingly, the gain or profit of single dairy byproducts and is equal to 0.34 units. In this case, the farmer production cost per thousand Rials, 340 Rials per farmer will benefit. The cost of food on, semi-industrial and traditional factory farms is 4850, 4503 and 4401 Rials per kg of milk respectively. Also in other method Break-Even Analysis price of milk per year for each unit of industrial, semi-industrial and traditional on 2012 are 6586.8, 6558.32 and 6213.95 Rials respectively and Sales of lower milk prices are causing economic losses and Production units will not be able to recoup their fixed costs and variable In summary, If dairy projects are analyzed based on the financial evaluation, Economic evaluation will have a greater profitability and this has been indicated that assistance from the government is supporting these units.
