The Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers Company Ltd (GNFC), a giant fertilizers and chemicals complex, owns the world's largest single stream ammonia and urea plants, and is located in the predominantly backward area of Bharuch District in Gujarat State, India. The company began commercial production on 1st July 1982. GNFC's performance as regards both capacity utilization and pollution control, has been good right from commissioning. Concerning pollution control, the company has adopted a productivity oriented approach which is entirely different from the usual ‘policeman' approach or ‘problem' approach. The company decided to find applications for each of the pollutants. Regarding liquid effluents, the company has successfully concluded a number of research and development projects as a result of which nearly 71% of the total volume of liquid effluent is put to productive use. This has helped the company to reduce the fresh water intake by about 18,000 m3/day (much more than the total volume of fresh water required by the whole of Bharuch city!). The remaining volume (29%) leaving GNFC premises completely conforms to irrigation standards and has been utilized by farmers for the last 5 years. This has resulted in a ‘mini green revolution' in the water-scarce area of Bharuch District. Since the entire effluent is either being recycled within the company or being used by farmers, the company has reached a stage of ‘zero effluent'. The company has also saved more than US$ 500,000 to date, by properly managing liquid effluent.

Oriented Approach

Modern science and practice does not have a sufficient set of cost management tools, taking into account the duration of the production cycle, characteristic of agricultural activity. The implementation of a cycle-oriented approach to building a model of production costs was based on studying the existing options for classifying production costs, which were supplemented with features from the perspective of managing long production cycles. As a result of the study, a model of production costs was built from the point of view of a cycle-oriented approach, as well as a model of production costs from the standpoint of features of a long production cycle. The model can serve as the basis for the formation of the information space of cost management, control and cost analysis in the economy of agricultural enterprises.

Commercial Performance

This study aimed to assess the economic and commercial performance of the Mangalarga Marchador horse breeding, and production costs in the Rio de Janeiro. Data was collected from the ABCCMM archives and from associated breeders, selected through stratified sampling by the mesoregions of the State of Rio de Janeiro. The main means of marketing the animals is selling on the farm. The average of horse’s sale per stud farm in the Rio de Janeiro is 14.92/year with the average of R$16,628.46/horse, generating an estimated sale at the farms of around R$192,026,783.88/year. The sale of mating (8.77 mating/year) and weaned foals (5.44 foals/year) contributed to the largest volume of sales at the stud farms. Donor mares (R$57,318,908.50) and mares (R$42,958,357.20) represented the highest in terms of market value throughout the Rio de Janeiro. The Coastal Lowlands mesoregion had the highest average of animals sold per stud farm/year (40.57 animals) and the Central Fluminense mesoregion had the lowest average (25.39 animals). The average commercialization per farm/year corresponds to R$385,667.90 and the average total value traded in the Rio de Janeiro is R$465,880,252.32/year. The average is 6.52 hired employees, which is equivalent to an average monthly labor gross cost of R$11,286.00. Rio de Janeiro employs around 5,584 people directly, the greatest numbers in the Metropolitan mesoregion (1,833 employees), and the lowest concentration in the Northern Fluminense mesoregion (530 employees). Together with the production costs, Mangalarga Marchador horse’s business turns over more than R$650 million per year in the Rio de Janeiro.
