Remade/Celulose Online has indicated that due to the
Real’s fluctuation in recent weeks, Northern Brazil’s
forest products sector has taken a cautious approach to its
current projections about growing timber sales to foreign
markets. According to the Timber Traders Union of the
Far North (SIMENORTE), the municipality of Alta
Floresta has already reported a reduction in forest products
exports by volume.
With the intensification of the crisis in the Brazilian
financial market over the past few weeks, production costs
have jumped and the value of the US dollar, on which
most of Brazil’s foreign timber sales are based, has fallen.
Consequently, the domestic market has been seen as a
more attractive destination for Brazil’s forest products. In
the municipality of Alta Floresta alone, the bulk of its
recent trade resulted from business conducted with other
states, in addition to sales within the Alta Floresta
municipality.
