| Summary: | This study was conducted with the objective of quantifying the production of wood in the Area of
the Fourth Colony of Italian Immigration in Rio Grande do Sul. Firstly, using a questionnaire, a census of the
consuming companies of wood in that area was made, investigating mainly the amount, type, origin of the
consumed raw material, and the amount, type and end use of wood products. As principal results, it was
verified that such area presents 77 consuming companies and wood processing units. These were classified
into micro and small companies, with familiar features and capital, and low industrialization. In the visits
made to the industries, it was evident that many technological aspects are not known or are neglected, thus
causing loss of the raw material and/or in low quality of the final products. A great amount of raw material
(96,8% of the boards and 98,9% of the timber) comes from other areas of the State or the country. In the
same way the main products are sold abroad (wood frames 86,3%, panelings 99,7%, sawed wood 53%). |
