摘要
This work aimed to evaluate the potential of implementing forest certification in the furniture center region of Uba, MG. Only export companies, considered potentially interested in this type of certification, were selected for this study. A questionnaire was elaborated to obtain information on their main products, including composition, raw material, suppliers and market. The majority of these companies supplied the domestic market and exportation was an occasional activity. The raw material used was, in general, reconstituted panels that had been previously certified by its suppliers. Around 85% of the companies studied fully or partially met the currently effective FSC percentage policy. It was concluded that forest certification can be considered viable, since many of the companies already acquire certified raw material. Besides, their export activities has increased, soon reaching a market which will certainly demand this certification.
