Cassava stands out in the brazilian economy because it is grown in several regions, due to tolerance to diverse soil and climate conditions. To be conducted effectively a property must be prepared cost estimates for decision-making, especially in the Southeast region of Goiás, where the cultivation of species is performed empirically. Therefore, the objective of this work was to survey the production costs and to determine the economic viability of the implantation of the cassava crop through economic indicators. For this purpose, the economic viability study was carried out using the following indicators: Gross Revenue (RB), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Net Present Value (NPV), Cost Benefit Index (IBC) and Payback updated. Sensitivity analysis was carried out in order to design scenarios that could contextualize a real situation. The feasibility analysis was carried out with a rate of 6.6% pa, in a 5-year horizon, RB = R $ 10,350.00, IRR = 45%, NPV = R $ 49,268.45, IBC = 1.37 and Payback updated = second year. In the sensitivity analysis it was shown that the oscillation between +10% and -10% did not make the project unfeasible, ensuring the return of the capital invested in the project, except when these are carried out simultaneously, rendering the results unfeasible. According to the conditions of the study concluded that the project is economically viable and the cultivation of cassava stands out as a good alternative in the practice of economic diversification in the production of the rural property.
