| description |
The forest-based chain in Quitilipi, Chaco Province, in Argentina, involves not only a large number of social participants but it also links economic, physical-natural and environmental aspects. These features give a certain complexity and particularity to its productive profile. For this reason, this study aims to become a fresh approach to the issue. The said study focused on the characterization of the forest-based chain in Quitilipi, by collating visions, conceptions and interests of the different participants involved in each stage. The underlying premise is that the wood-processing industry is the most important activity in the city due to the number of participants involved and the economic revenue it yields. The methodology applied has a qualitative approach, which helped to show the current status of the topic through the comparison of the participants’ visions taken into consideration. To achieve this, it was necessary to carry out interviews with relevant analysis units within the forest-based chain, such as officers from various state agencies and producers related to primary exploitation, the industrialization of wood and the selling of manufactures. The results show that the forest-based chain in Quitilipi has an important presence in the city’s economy due to the number and diversity of participants involved both in a direct and indirect manner. In particular, the stage of industrialization of wood stands out as almost all of the raw material used in sawmills and carpentry shops is processed. This presents a piece of clear evidence on the industrial profile of Quitilipi within the forest-based chain. Quitilipi’s characteristic products are wood doors and windows, which means that the manufacturing of furniture, rural objects and construction components are relegated to the background. Algarrobo tree doors and windows, which are the main produced goods, are widely accepted nationally, especially in the provinces of Northwestern Argentina, due to the high quality exhibited by these products. |

La cadena forestal en la ciudad de Quitilipi involucra a gran cantidad de actores sociales, vinculando al mismo tiempo, aspectos económicos, físicos-naturales y ambientales. El estudio se centró en la descripción y caracterización de la cadena forestal por medio de la confrontación de las visiones e intereses de diferentes actores involucrados en cada etapa, bajo la premisa de que la industria maderera es la más importante de la ciudad por cantidad de actores involucrados y por los ingresos económicos que genera. El diseño metodológico tiene un enfoque cualitativo que buscó reflejar la situación actual a través de la comparación de las visiones de los actores sociales considerados. Los resultados indican que esta cadena tiene una importante presencia en su economía por los distintos actores implicados directa o indirectamente, mientras que las puertas y ventanas de algarrobo constituyen el principal producto, seguido por muebles, artículos rurales y componentes para la construcción.
