摘要
This research estimate the potential and importance of the small holder for wood supply to the logging industry in the Transamazonic. Using satellite images, secondary and primary data the research showed the potential and the sustainability of the small production to supply the industry. Using a conservative estimate per hectare it was possible to estimate a area of 841,954 ha per year to exploit in the region which would be equivalent to the production of 10,000 families or 18% of the total estimated family in the region. This is equivalent to 1/25 of the actual estimate of production in the region. In general, the large potential of the small production are overlooked but when calculated for a large region it can show the potential for increase of income and forestry sustainability.
