Produção e comercialização de mudas florestais nativas no município de Sinop, Mato Grosso

Abstract

Given the forest restoration agenda in the country, it is essential to analyze the production chainlinked to the supply of native forest seedlings. Therefore, the present work aimed to quantitatively evaluate the production and commercialization of native forest seedlings in the municipality of Sinop, Mato Grosso. For this purpose, 16 nurseries were selected to apply a structured questionnaire divided into 7 blocks of questions, namely: BLOCK I – Consent formfor the interview; BLOCK II – Identification of the nursery and person responsible; BLOCK III – Quantitative production; BLOCK IV – Physical and structural aspects; BLOCK V – Socioeconomic characterization; BLOCK VI – Regulation; BLOCK VII – Contact with other nurseries. All data was tabulated and analyzed using the Microsoft Excel 2016 spreadsheet. InSinop, 40% of nurseries are public, dedicated to the production of native seedlings, while 60%are private, focused on reselling seedlings acquired from other states, such as São Paulo and Minas Gerais.The resale capacity of 67% of nurseries ranges from 10,000 to 100,000 seedlings annually.88 native species were identified in the nurseries, with emphasis on Anacardium occidentale and Handroanthus serratifolius. All nurseries adopt phytosanitary control practices. In socioeconomic terms, the majority of workers have completed secondary education, with remuneration varying between 1 and 2 minimum wages. Private nurseries are registered with Renasem, while public nurseries do not have this formalization. In conclusion, the research faced several challenges in collecting information. Furthermore, it was found that the majorityof nurseries in Sinop are private in nature, mainly dedicated to the resale of native forest seedlings, for afforestation purposes.
