- Abstract
- The article looks at the furniture industry in the area of São Bento do Sul (SC), the main furniture exporter in Brazil as a whole, making use of the notion of global commodity chain. Based on fieldwork concerning chiefly interviews with firms, the study analyses the relationships involving the export performance of this local sector. It is observed that exports take place in a context of subordination of local furniture production to external forces, specially to those relating to international clients, who concentrate the governance of the corresponding relationships. Such situation leads one to ask about the actual possibilities of promotion of local and regional development.
