Abstract

This paper analyses the evolution of wood-based industries in Brazil and evaluates the methods they use to secure wood. Only industries that consume roundwood are analysed. These industries are grouped into three categories: charcoal-based industries; paper and pulp industries; and lumber and panels industries. The structure-conduct-performance paradigm together with transaction cost theory and game theory are used in the analysis. Special attention is paid to historic changes in the wood-based industries' structures, technologies, locations and market orientations brought on by changing wood availability. This paper also analyses the different ways that a predicted wood scarcity will affect each wood-based industry. The paper ends by suggesting an alternative policy to increase the supply of roundwood in the market and, consequently, support the continued viability and expansion of wood-based industries in Brazil.
