Abstract

ABSTRACT: The main product of commercial interest produced by Copaifera species is oleoresin, one of the most important vegetable oils marketed in the northern region of Brazil. However, production is influenced by a number of factors such as the low population density of the species and the variability among individuals. Thus, that study is aimed to analyze the variation of the amount of oleoresin produced in Brazil from 2001 to 2017 and its respective production value. For that, a case study was carried out, with indirect data collection in the automatic recovery system of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. The data were filtered, tabulated and evaluated by means of descriptive statistics and exploratory analysis, with the aid of Excel® v. 2019 and SigmaPlot® v. 11. A bibliographical survey was also carried out regarding the subject matter for a theoretical basis. Significant oscillations in local production were evident. After a period of frank expansion, a peak was experienced in 2010, with 579 tons traded, presented a negative increase of 63.55% in the following year. However, the North region continues as the main producer, especially the Amazon, which in 2017 was responsible for 83.9% of the total produced in the country. The results can contribute to the planning actions by presenting an overview of the stocks and the market behavior of oleoresin. Further studies are needed to determine the real causes and effects of variation in oleoresin production and pricing.
