Abstract

The costs involving the Brazilian fish farming sector have many complex factors ranging from production to marketing, Brazil is a giant in territory and has an extensive hydrographic network, in addition to the favorable climate for tilapia production. The general objective of this work is to identify the determinants of tilapia production costs and verify their impact on the cost structure of companies. The hypothesis presented says that despite the growth in fish consumption, its cost can impact the cost structure of an organization, since, as in Brazil, the increase in production costs impacted the other animal protein chains, which was not different with fish farming. in addition to depending on external factors, both cultural and economic, that influence the value. The study addresses the main concepts of cost determinants, and focuses on the main tilapia producing region in Brazil according to EMBRAPA. The methodology is bibliographical research that aims at the exploratory character by using and clarifying concepts. It has a quantitative character due to the collection of data and use of statistics to discover the economic or social circumstances that are related.
