摘要：The article estimates a production function for cattle raising developed in themunicipalities of the Brazilian Amazon, aiming to identify the influence of production factorson cattle production value. Municipal data on the gross value of cattle production, pastureareas, labor employed in livestock production, value of livestock investments, and access totechnical assistance services were used. The model was statistically significant, and theproduction factors explained 84.54% of the changes in cattle production value. Land andcapital factors contributed the most to the determination of production value. On the otherhand, labor contributed the least. Cattle production shows increasing returns to scale,indicating the possibility of reducing average production costs by intensifying the use of theavailable production factors.
