Abstract

This study aimed at understanding the logistic of the supply of lumber commercialized in the municipality of Florianópolis in Santa Catarina State. We used interviews with managers of lumber supply stores to gather data on the origin of the lumber, the volume and major tropical species commercialized, and the average distance from suppliers to the stores. The results allowed to estimate a total annual consumption of about 12,030m3 of lumber, of which 5,532 m3 are lumber of tropical species and 6498 m3 of exotic species (pine and eucalyptus). The highest percentage of exotic species of lumber sold in the timber market of Florianópolis is from the southern region of Santa Catarina State, mainly from the municipalities of São Martinho and Tubarão. The average distance between Florianópolis and the suppliers cities is about 126 km
