This work was carried out to evaluate the influence of technical indicators on the profitability of dairy farms in two regions of Minas Gerais: Mucuri Valley and South of Minas. It used data from 62 dairy farms, all of these included in the Educampo Milk Project/Sebrae-MG, that were grouped according to the two regions. The dataset corresponded to period from August 2005 to July 2008 and was corrected to July 2008 by using IGP-DI (internal general prices index) of Getúlio Vargas Foundation. The evaluated period encompassed three agricultural years. The influence of different indicators on the return rate on capital including land (RRCL) was assessed through path analysis. The South of Minas presents limitations as the profitability of activity of milk production seems to be linked to questions regarding costs of labor and concentrate, besaides with a demand for a better herd structure, which seems to consist an inherent characteristic of this region. Relationships were too observed with milk price paid to producers. On the other hand, the Mucuri Valley region was characterized by low specialization of dairy activity. Therefore, management systems aimed at increasing RRCL should seek increased productivity of livestock and area along with the balance of herd structure. Nevertheless, this region has shown that there is a great variability of production systems that lets then be profitable. Otherwise, it was found in the South of Minas a more specific herd structure.
