The objective of this work was to analyze the behavior of wood exports and to identify the municipalities specialized on forestry, wood and furniture activities, in the period from 1998 to 2004. The methodology applied was the rate of geometric growth (RGG) and the normalized index of concentration (NIC). The results showed that the exports grew at a rate of over 14% a year. Furthermore, twenty-five municipalities were identified as being specialized in wood and furniture; and five in forestry activities.
