Impactos Socioeconômicos das Plantações Florestais no Niassa, Moçambique

The aim of this research was to assess the socioeconomic impacts of forest plantations in the householders’ livelihood in the Niassa province communities, northern Mozambique. Were conducted semi-structured interviews with 423 households in communities around the forest companies, forest plantation managers and the govern local senior members of the govern. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, considering the period before and after implementation of forestry companies. The results showed improvements in the livelihood of the householders, especially those who are employed in forestry companies. The presence of forestry companies reduced dependence and accessibility of families in relation to forest resources due to increasing distances from the sources of production.

Forest Management in the State of Amapá, Brazil

This study aims to show the organizational capacity and structure of the forest management system of the State of Amapá, Brazil. The research was based on the principles applied in Public Administration functions. We found that forest management in Amapá is performed by four State agencies consisting of two management systems that act on the production side, with one being in direct administration as the formulator of forestry policy, and one being an autonomous agency linked to the previous one as executor of forestry policy, and the other two systems being more directly linked to protection, with one being a formulator of environmental policy and the other its executor. There was a statistically significant correlation between the perceptions of public officers and the users of institutions regarding the organizational system. Some conflicts were observed between the four institutions in terms of forest administration responsibilities. We concluded that the maintenance of the existing forest coverage is not directly due to institutional capacities.

Mecanismo de Desenvolvimento Limpo Florestal e a Heveicultura no Estado do Acre

The objective of this paper is to generate economic information on rubber tree (Hevea spp.) plantations included in the carbon market under the clean development mechanism (CDM), deployed in the state of Acre, Brazil. To this end, considering data from local heveiculture projects, Net Present Value (NPV), Land Expectation Value (LEV), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) were quantified for theses reforestations. Based on the results obtained, we conclude that reforestation with rubber trees for carbon sequestration under Forestry CDM may be feasible in the state of Acre, thus strengthening the forest-based economy of the region, provided that the income generated from these plantations is not reduced by more than 20% compared with the average value obtained at the time of this study.

Dinâmica das Exportações de Mel Natural Brasileiro no Período de 2000 a 2011

This study aimed to describe the dynamics of the Brazilian exports of natural honey in the 2000-2011 period. To this end, a literature survey on exports of natural honey was carried out at the following reference data sources: SEBRAE, IBGE, Aliceweb, and UNcomtrade. The concentration ratio (CR) methodology was also applied to define the degree of concentration; this calculation was based on the participation of the four and the eight largest Brazilian export markets. The results showed that Brazil evolved from a low volume of exports in 2000 to the 5th place in world exports in 2011, exporting mainly to the United States, Germany, United Kingdom, Canada, Spain and Belgium. The United States and Germany participated with more than 80% of the total Brazilian exports of natural in the period studied, indicating a high market concentration proven by the methodology applied.

Perfil produtivo das empresas de madeira compensada no estado do Paraná

Plywood mills have been changing their productive structure worldwide. These changes have also been taking place in Paranas industries. The impacts are measure in this article by production efficiency indicators for two periods: March to July 2002 and March to May 2007. The analyses allowed the conclusions that: only plywood mills that produced plywood using pinewood for exportation are better adapted to globalization. The other plywood mills made products traded in the national market and did not increase their productions, improved or updated production systems. Production indicators can therefore be used to compare manufacturers or plan public or private actions.
