The para manufacturing sector claims to affect environmental licensing delayed exports | The economy
Para Associate’s productive activities Drops in your exports Due to delay in release Environmental licenses The Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama) issued. In the first two months of this year, the timber sector, for example, recorded Almost 40% reduction Compared to the same period last year. The executive director of the Para Wooden Export Industries Association (IMEX), Deric Martins, has criticized the “administrative difficulties” of bureaucracy, but criticized the department.

The state exported state in the first two months of 2024 is US $ 34,890,730. During the same period this year, the industry exported, 21,434,521, which resulted in a decline in about 38.57%. Data comes from development, industry and the Ministry of Commerce (MDIC).
From the analysis of these numbers, the IMEX representative referred to the bureaucracy of licensing and explained that “the main problem of the manufacturing sector is inherent.” According to him, in addition to financial losses in activities, the cargo is declining as they expect release and the state will lose companies and jobs in the process.
“Waiting to analyze the licenses of the required licenses, you can send this product out … the cost of transaction increases, the delay in the ports is not possible due to the delay in the ports. It will cause companies to lose contracts, do not fulfill their responsibilities with their customers, can cause a huge loss to the industry, explaining in others.”
Martin’s estimates that the waiting period for licenses is two months, but companies usually last up to six months without a response from the agency. In all activities, Wood has the best screening, accompanied by commercialization from production, which helps to accelerate the process.
Recently, the CITES list has increased the reduction of the IPê and Kumaru entry, from the international trade conference on Flora and Wild animals, in the accident. This list imposes a more strict inspection on the export of species, requiring a second license. Therefore, in addition to the traditional LPCO (license, permit, certificate and other documents) required for trade, you should also have license sites (pre-convenience certificate or export license).
. With regard to special licenses, Ibama has already issued more than 550 licenses across the country, along with more than 600 LPCOs in the state. “In 2025, up to 17/03, more than 633 LPCOs were declared only in the state of para, a total of 800 forest guides.
Parawood is mainly exported to the United States, as well as to the countries of Asia and Europe, but only 20% of the product goes out. The remaining 80% of the domestic market moves, mainly to the state of Sao Paulo. In this sense, the movements around the environmental licenses also affect the Brazilian economy.

In Para Federation, the Joutherm Minsen of the Para Federation of Agriculture and Livestock (FAEPA), Gilherm Minsen, said that “the speed of licenses is always a barrier to fulfilling.” According to him, the release of the agribusiness working areas is part of the characteristics of Ibama, which is reflected on local structures. The relationship of licensing in agriculture also seeks the alignment between the time and the expiration of productions, which vary according to cultivation cultures.
“Especially in the release of products with very narrow dates for this export window, these criteria should always be very clear, and as everything is computerized today, we must be aligned with the porto, manufacturing and transportation, with a well -defined control,” said Minesen.

In mining and international commercial activities, consultant Rodalfo Alvarelos assesses the severity of licensing over the past years, especially in relation to expiration and needs, which makes the extraction process more expensive. In this section, the licensing goes through the National Mining Agency (ANM), which can operate with no obstacles for average 2 to 3 years.
“With new environmental licenses or without existing overdue and restoration, and tightening the implementation of federal and state institutions, these substantial minerals have begun to experience strong setbacks in their volumes, which strongly affect a large product chain of direct and indirect jobs.”
The ratio of the mining project is also important in this field, as well as the type of purpose of receiving ore after collecting. According to the consultant, it establishes regulations during ANM licensing, which are followed by other companies. Small -scale activities also have a simplified license that is called mining mining permit (PLG).

In practice
Licensing is divided into different spheres, licenses on large institutions to Ibama, but in joint work with state agencies. Ibama Mathews Santas Server has emphasized that the naturally time -consuming process has become more challenging with fewer employees in the agency, which has increased the entity for some time. “We do not have eight servers for this practice, especially dedicated to export, and most people in the next competition are crowded for this, and this time will be met.”
The analysis of the servers is a wide range of documentation processing about the legal ballast of the commodities, to assess whether all stages follow legal instructions, as well as technical analysis of products. In some cases, loads to verify containers are required directly at ports -site inspection. Once all the procedures are completed, Ibama consent will finally be released. “This is not a quick process, it takes some time, but this time will intensify and our server will grow definitely by contingent,” he pointed out.
