The objective of this paper was to analyze the Locational Quotient (LQ) for the main products forest – by the Parana mesoregion between 2005 and 2015, such as seeds, seedlings, firewood, sawmill and laminator, cellulose, and paper, and other (pine knot, poplar, fence posts, splinters, and forest waste). The use of indicators and methods to identify the concentration of these resources and their constraints can support the design of policies more suitable for the management of available resources, as well as guide the need for investments. Also, we observed the scarcity of research using such a method (LQ) in the forest area. The period was selected according to the availability of information from the Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply (SEAB). The results indicated both positive and negative oscillations in the analyzed period. This dynamic is related to seasonal, bureaucratic, and market issues. The conclusions considered the wood production chain to interpret the results and not only the specificities of each product, given the lack of available information.
