RESUMO

In this work are studied the programs of forest furtherance developed by the cellulose industry, whose participation in the wood supply matrix for that industrial segment is growing, already occupying the second position. The cellulose industry is characterized by the high degree of vertical integration to amount, being the wood processing for that segment, predominantly produced by the own companies. Several conditions, as restrictions of the environmental norms, and production costs limit the expansion of new plantings through the vertical integration, taking the largest companies develop her the strategy of the vertical coordination through leases, partnerships and programs of forest furtherance. In this study the programs of forest furtherance were analyzed in the cellulose industry, considering the characteristics of their contracts, the incentives and their performances, based on the new institutional economy, standing out the theory of the incomplete long term contracts, with support to the transaction costs economy. For the research it was used in the first moment, the qualitative approach of the exploratory and descriptive research of the study of multiple cases, through semi-structured interviews. In the second moment, semi-structured questionnaire was applied to accomplish the collections of data. The analyses of data indicate that the programs of forest furtherance occupy the second position in the matrix of wood supply for processing of the cellulose industry, whose participation tends to grow. In general, the analyses indicate the tendency of substitution of the vertical integration of the wood supply, for the vertical coordination through long terms contracts. The forest furtherance and market participations of wood supply for processing are increasing. Among other reasons, the cellulose industry tries to reduce the costs associated to the fixed assets in lands and to increase wood offer for processing. The conclusions evidence that environmental legislation doesnt exercise influences in favor of the option for the forest furtherance, but they confirm the option for the same to facilitate the access and efficient availability to lands for forest crop. The hypothesis of adaptation of the mechanisms of incentives is confirmed in the programs of forest furtherance, with different modalities, to attend to different classes of encouraged producers, mainly pursuant to the size of their farms. Except the extension furtherance, the other programs of forest furtherance use contractual sentence to purchase option of output. The conditions for supply of seedlings and inputs, the financial improvements and the technical assistance, are similar in all furtherance programs. The forest furtherance fomentation has limitations for isolated adoption for small and averages companies due to the risks of opportunism of the fomented before to the entrance of competitive. Your structuring is preferably trilateral: the small farmers or proprietors; the consuming companies of wood; the government, that also involves society.
