5 PROJECTED COSTS AND RETURNS FOR CRAWFISH PRODUCTION IN LOUISIANA, 2008 by Robert W. Boucher and Jeffrey M. Gillespie 1 INTRODUCTION Aquaculture production enterprises, like other farm enterprises, require advanced planning to make production decisions that are likely to result in profit. The purpose of this report is to provide production cost estimates for crawfish enterprises to assist producers in making decisions and obtaining adequate financing. Crawfish production and its associated costs differ considerably among producers and resource situations. The projected costs presented here should not be interpreted as averages for producers in the industry. The purpose of the cost projections is to provide guidelines whereby producers and others with an interest in crawfish production costs can make cost estimates appropriate to their unique situations. Data used in development of the budgets is a combination of information obtained directly from producers, Louisiana Cooperative Extension Service Specialists and Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station Scientists. Current machinery and other input price data were combined with production practice data using the Microcomputer Enterprise Budget Generator developed at Mississippi State University. Fixed costs were estimated based on typical rates of use and sizes of operations. Production budget estimates are presented on a 'per acre' basis to facilitate using the estimates for different sized operations. Overhead costs associated with operation of the farm business have been allocated as a residual claimant on a per acre basis in the enterprise budgets, but have not been included in the computation of breakeven selling prices. Crawfish budgets are presented for three production-marketing situations. They are based primarily on a 1990 survey of 39 commercial crawfish producers with supplemental information provided by researchers and Cooperative Extension Service personnel. The personal interview survey collected information on production, harvesting, and marketing practices. Budgets are presented for three owner-operator situations without aeration that typify producers included in the survey: 1) Northeast Louisiana single crop ponds (Table 3), 2) Southwest Louisiana single crop ponds (Table 4), and 3) Southwest Louisiana rice-crawfish double crop in a fallow rotation (Table 5). Fixed costs for non-aerated systems are based on a 120-acre production unit consisting of six 20-acre ponds configured in two 60-acre units. Harvesting is assumed to be performed by one person using a power boat with 20 traps per acre. In Southwest Louisiana, harvesting is assumed to occur every other day during December through February and daily during March through May. In Northeast Louisiana, harvesting is assumed to occur daily from March 1 to May 15 to accommodate retail marketing. Appendix table 1 presents a summary of projected costs based on reduced fishing days for the three situations discussed. This table provides the direct, fixed, and total costs for the base situation and for 10%, 20%, and 30% reductions in fishing days. Though lower costs for the reduced fishing days do not result in a proportional percentage drop in costs, recent studies have shown that, with the use of pyramid traps, 30% fewer fishing days does not reduce the yield significantly. Seasonal yield distributions reflect those reported by surveyed producers. Total season 1 Research Associate and Martin D. Woodin Endowed Professor, respectively, Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness, Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station, Louisiana State University Agricultural Center, Baton Rouge.
6 yields are not absolute sample averages, but reflect typical yields reported by respondents. No crawfish returns are included since there are no publicly published sources of crawfish prices. Marketing costs included in the budgets assume that the product is sold to processors and wholesalers in Southwest Louisiana and is sold retail in Northeast Louisiana. Table 1 presents a summary comparison of projected costs and yields per acre for the three crawfish production situations. Breakeven selling prices required to recover costs are presented in Table 2 for five alternative yield levels for each crawfish situation. Tables with an "A" designation provide estimated cost budgets, whereas tables with a "B" designation show costs for detailed operations. B-2
