F.1. Economic and Financial Analysis<br />
Cost of avoided deforestation<br />
Baseline estimate<br />
Based on the conservative scenario, the expected deforestation without project intervention is estimated at 1,020 ha of<br />
aguajales and 22,340 ha of terra firma forest.<br />
With-project conservative scenario<br />
Assuming that the project improves forest management and follows best practices for similar areas, we estimate that<br />
deforestation will reach 879 ha of aguajales and 17,620 ha of terra firma forest.<br />
Avoided deforestation and cost of carbon tonnes saved through deforestation<br />
The calculations presented in section E.6.5 indicate that the avoided deforestation for the conservative baseline<br />
scenario is equivalent to 2.63 Mt CO2 eq for the selected project’s horizon of 10 years. When compared to project<br />
costs, this helps us to identify the cost of avoided deforestation per dollar spent by the project.<br />

Economic analysis<br />
Cost<strong>–</strong>benefit analysis<br />
Based on estimates presented in the previous section as well as detailed data from studies carried out on existing biobusinesses,<br />
table 15 presents the cost<strong>–</strong>benefit analysis of the project. We base our analysis on data estimated from<br />
seven bio-businesses studied in more detail in tables E.6.3 and 23 (from annex II - feasibility study).<br />
Costs<br />
The costs were estimated from the detailed breakdown presented in annex 2 (table 23), including the initial investment<br />
and recurrent costs of purchases of raw materials, labour, energy, transport, depreciation and other items. The<br />
average cost was then multiplied by the number of bio-businesses implemented every year as detailed in table F.1.2.<br />
As part of the cost, we include the support that PROFONANPE is committed to provide beyond the life of the project to<br />
promote the creation of three additional bio-businesses every year.<br />
We also include the investment for avoided emissions provided by the project consisting of the total amount of the<br />
project minus the items dedicated to support the bio-businesses. Finally, we include a variable that does not have a<br />
source of information but is added as an adjustment factor. In this case, we consider that the project can support an<br />
opportunity cost of leasing the land that we estimate in USD 500,000, a significant value close to 70 per cent of the<br />
total revenue from bio-businesses.
