| Summary: | affected by both the level of debt and the existing allows a more informed decision making process based on the analyses, for the 1995-2000 period, were conducted using and production environments for the production systems in the and sustain growth under more benign macroeconomic assessment of the future economic performance of animal baseline scenario using data obtained through a panel farm conditions. The approach proposed in this study provides dual purpose production operation was characterized in a dual purpose production system in Central Veracruz, Mexico environment for sustainable agricultural production systems. financial, and macroeconomic assumptions. Simulation FLIPSIM, a whole farm simulation model developed at Texas A&M from a cash flow standpoint. The scenarios with the highest impact on the production system. Sensitivity analyses were insight into the financial impact of changes in the economic instrumental in influencing policy makers to provide the best level of investment (stockers, stockers and purchase of limiting growth and sustainability during the period of macroeconomic conditions (inflation and interest rates). management, and purchase of replacements) ranked the highest of investment (BST, milk cooling tank, low pasture performed on the baseline by imposing alternative marketing, process. Alternative technology and management practices production systems. In addition, this approach could be replacements, and high pasture management) tended to rank in scenarios. The alternative scenarios requiring low levels showed better financial performance than the alternative significant effect on the performance of the scenarios studied in this work. The baseline scenario consistently study. The growth and survival of the operation is greatly system, represented as the baseline scenario, could survive Technological, marketing, and financial alternatives to the the bottom half The level of initial debt was a major factor This study showed the dual purpose tropical production tropics. It also provides the advantage of testing a system University. High interest and inflation rates had a well in advance of the implementation of alternatives and were analyzed to assess their economic viability.
