Given the importance that the forestry sector plays in the economy of several countries and considering the magnitude of world demand, it is understood that the participation of the forestry-based sector in the market is below its potential. The main objective of this research was to analyze the competitiveness of Brazil and Chile in the conifer sawn wood (CSW) and Chemical Wood Pulp (CWP) international market, through revealed symmetric comparative advantages (RSCA) and volume (in tons) exported compared to the world's largest exporters of these products. Brazil and Chile were chosen because they are the two main producers and exporters of these products in Latin America. Furthermore, linear regression analysis techniques were used to explain the factors that supported this competitiveness. The results of the RSCA index showed that for conifer sawn wood there are different patterns of competitiveness among the analyzed countries. For the CWP sector, Brazil is the world's leading exporter, and the RSCA indices showed that Brazil with high dynamism and Chile with lower competitiveness in the CWP sector. The results of the regression analysis to assess competitiveness via exported volume for both conifer sawn wood and CWP proved inconclusive for Chile. In relation to Brazil, the results for the exported volume of wood suggest a dependence on the US interest rate. We thus conclude that the results were probably affected by the volatility of the data analyzed from countries or sectors for which there are factors other than those considered in this study. Furthermore, Canadian pulp exports are influenced by the Brazilian price, not the other way around.

鉴于林业部门在几个国家的经济中发挥的重要性并考虑到世界需求的规模，据了解，以林业为基础的部门在市场中的参与度低于其潜力。本研究的主要目的是分析巴西和智利在针叶树锯材 (CSW) 和化学木浆 (CWP) 国际市场的竞争力，通过揭示的对称比较优势 (RSCA) 和出口量 (吨) 比较这些产品的全球最大出口国。选择巴西和智利是因为它们是拉丁美洲这些产品的两个主要生产国和出口国。此外，线性回归分析技术被用来解释支持这种竞争力的因素。RSCA 指数的结果表明，针叶锯材在所分析的国家之间存在不同的竞争力模式。就CWP 行业而言，巴西是世界领先的出口国，RSCA 指数显示巴西在CWP 行业的活力较高，而智利的竞争力较低。通过针叶树锯材和 CWP 的出口量评估竞争力的回归分析结果对智利来说是不确定的。就巴西而言，木材出口量的结果表明依赖于美国的利率。因此，我们得出结论，结果可能受到来自国家或部门分析的数据波动性的影响，其中存在本研究中未考虑的因素。此外，加拿大纸浆出口受到巴西价格的影响，
