SUMMARY:

This study analyzed the economic-financial viability of four agroforestry system (AFS) arrangements based on the acai palm in Rondonia, with the aim of supporting the adoption of productive models that reconcile environmental recovery with income generation. To this end, the methodology employed a financial analysis in which actual implementation costs and technical coefficients of the systems were obtained, and projections of productive data and future expenses of the species over a 20-year horizon (2025-2045) were made, using literature references and technical consultations. Financial indicators such as Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Equivalent Annual Value (EAV), Cost-Benefit Ratio (CBR), Payback, and Family Labor Remuneration (FLR) were calculated, applying an annual discount rate of 6%. The evaluated arrangements included the acai palm intercropped with Brazil nut, coffee, and cassava (SAF 1); acai, cocoa, banana, and cassava (SAF 2); acai, andiroba, and cassava (SAF 3); and acai, cupuacu, banana, and cassava (SAF 4). The results demonstrated that all SAFs showed positive economic-financial viability, with NPV above zero, IRR above the minimum attractive rate, and payback of less than six years. SAF 2 stood out as the most promising, recording the highest average annual revenue (R$ 60,941.45), average annual gross profit (R$ 30,795.58), and NPV (R$ 2,000,420.76), in addition to a payback period of 4.35 years, attributing its success to the balanced diversification between short and long cycle species, which provided consistent returns and greater financial resilience. SAF 1 exhibited a good initial performance; however, the long-term removal of coffee may impact cash flow. SAF 3 and SAF 4 showed more modest performance indicators, with SAF 3 being the least attractive and SAF 4 achieving the lowest average gross profit, despite a quick payback. It is concluded that the implementation of agroforestry systems is economically attractive in Rondonia in areas with characteristics similar to the studied area. The selection of the most suitable arrangement should consider not only profitability but also long-term productive sustainability, the interests of the producer, and their management capacity.
