Economic and Environmental Valuation

Data from the Institute for Space Research (INPE), show that in 2019, deforestation in Brazil consumed around 1,200,000 hectares of native vegetation, where one of the factors responsible, is due to the exploitation of noble wood. Among the measures adopted to mitigate deforestation, the commercial forest plantation presents itself as an important alternative, increasing the supply of wood in the market, thus contributing to reduce the pressure of exploitation on native forests. It is important to highlight that, each species has peculiarities in relation to its cultivation and, in addition, the producer must consider the economic factors associated with the activity. In view of the above, this article aims to select, by means of ordinal method SAPEVO-M-NC, the regions of the country most suitable for planting African mahogany of the ivorensis species. The study was carried out considering seven regions of different states, being evaluated in the light of natural and economic attributes. The result indicates that the criteria associated with climatic factors are of great importance for the decision makers consulted, directing the preference for the regions that currently have the largest plantations of the species in question.
