Download or read book Management Accounting for the Sugar Cane Industry written by A. E. Fok Kam and published by A. E. Fok Kam. This book was released on 1988 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when sugar cane farms worldwide are suffering from poor profitability, management accounting can provide a set of tools with which to boost revenue and keep costs under control. Management accounting is concerned with the provision of the financial information necessary for managers to plan and control their businesses, with the techniques to be used to produce this information and with its interpretation. Although there are many excellent books on management accounting in general, there are few, if any, that deal specifically with the management of sugar cane farms. The main objectives of this book are: to show how the tools and techniques of management accounting may be applied to the problems of the sugar cane industry; to provide a guide to the interpretation of management accounting information as a prelude to decision-taking; and to warn against the pitfalls of a literal interpretation of such information in an agricultural context. The book assumes no prior knowledge of accounting and contains numerous examples which make it easier to understand the principles and techniques discussed.

Download or read book Sugarcane Bioethanol written by Luís Augusto Barbosa Cortez and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 994 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Brazil, sugarcane ethanol supplied, in 2009, 17.6 % of the energy for land transportation (excluding railroads)and about 55% of the total energy supplied by liquid fuel for Otto cycle engines. Besides the lower production costs ethanol produced from sugarcane in Brazil has another important advantage: in Central-South Brazil only 1 unit of fossil energy is used for each 8-9 units of energy produced by ethanol from sugarcane. Carbon emissions reduction also benefits from sugarcane ethanol: for each cubic meter of ethanol used as fuel, there is net saving of around 2 t CO2 not emitted to the atmosphere while, at the same time, no SO2 is emitted. Sugarcane was introduced in Brazil in 1532. The "Brazilian model" of producing concomitantly sugar and ethanol, brought important technical benefits and made possible an outstanding increase in the competitiveness in the international market for sugar and ethanol. Today about 50% of the sucrose of sugarcane produced in the country is directed to the production of sugar while another half is used to produce Ethanol. Industrial and academic R&D has helped to increase the productivity of ethanol steadily over the past 35 years, at a rate of 3.2% per year. Productivity gains implied savings of planted area by a factor of 2.6. In 2009/2010 the area planted with sugarcane for Ethanol production was 4.2 Mha, amounting to 1% of the total arable land available in Brazil. About 60% of the Ethanol produced in Brazil comes from the State of Sao Paulo, where the productivity is the highest (around 86 t/ha.year). Most of the recent expansion is happening in the center-west region of the country, in degraded pasture lands. The FAPESP Program for Research on Bioenergy, BIOEN, aims at articulating public and private R&D, using academic and industrial laboratories to advance and apply knowledge in fields related to ethanol production in Brazil. The BIOEN Program has a solid core for supporting academic exploratory research activities that will generate new knowledge and form scientists and professionals essential for advancing industry capacity in ethanol related technologies. On top of this, BIOEN includes partnerships with industry for cooperative R&D activities between industrial and academic laboratories, which are to be co-funded by FAPESP and industry.Federal agencies, such as CNPq, will also co-fund the research.
