Description
Summary:ABSTRACT This work analyzed the world concentration of pellet exports between 2012 and 2018. Data on pellet exports from the Food and Agriculture Organization Of The United Nations – FAO were used as were the following indicators: Concentration Ratio [CR(k)], Hirschman-Herfindal Index (HHI), Theil Entropy Index (E), Gini inequality coefficient (G) and the Hall-Tideman Index (HTI). From the results, it was noted that there was an increase in the amount of world exports of wood pellets, with an increase from 9.71 x106 t, in 2012, to 23.67 x106 t, in 2018. There was dominance of the European continent over exports; at the country level, the main ones were: United States, Canada and Latvia. The indicators showed that pellet exports were, for the most part, concentrated and uneven. The continental and subcontinent levels showed the highest degree of concentration, however, as of 2016, there were signs of a possible deconcentration of this market. All methods used point to a process of deconcentration in pellet exports from 2016, this process can be intensified with technological expansion and incentive policies.
