Documento de Origem Florestal - DOF: análise da comercialização de produtos florestais nativos legalizados no estado do Rio Grande do Norte

Abstract

The Document of Forest Origin “DOF” is a mandatory document to control and monitor the transportation of products and by-products of native forest origin, which must accompany the transport and storage of the native products traded at all times. The objective of this work is to analyze the public data of the DOF system generated in the period from 2011 to 2016 and to identify and quantify legalized native forest products marketed and transported in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The data used were made available by the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) and correspond to all transport of forest products of native and legalized origin, with final destination of the municipalities of the RN in the period from 2011 to 2016. Rio Grande North between the years 2011 to 2016 received timber products from 24 states of the country, with highlights to the northern states. The number of DOFs originating in the NB had an average growth of 22% between the years 2011 to 2014 and a reduction of 13% in 2015 and 2016 and commercialization and between municipalities transportation were observed in more than 90% of the municipalities. In relation to the species transported in the evaluation period, the movement of 738 different wood species was observed, especially the Angelim-red (Dinizia excelsa), Maçaranduba (Manilkara spp.) and Jatobá (Hymenaea spp.). The main products transported in the state were: Lumber, Firewood and Wood Residues. The analysis of the DOF shows that there have been advances for the native products traded and that most of the products marketed and transported in the RN originate in the Northern states.
