The article analyzes the behavior and competitiveness of exportations in the State of Paraná of the Lumber and Paper Industries between 1990-2002, as well as the factors that determine the exportations performance and their interaction with the Lumber and Paper Industries international trade. The concentration index Hirschman-Hefindahl (IHH) is used to verify the evolution of the exportation markets concentration as well as the Constant Market Share (CMS) model that separates the sources of exportations development into four components: world trade increase, constitution of the exportation schedule, destination of exportations and competitiveness. The behavior and exportations trend of both sectors are analyzed from 1990 to 2002, subdivided in three periods: 1990-1993, 1994-1998 and 1999-2002. By means of the separation of the development sources through CMS model, it is verified that the development of the world trade and competitiveness are responsible for the increase of the Lumber industry exportations in two sub-periods: 1994-1998 and 1999-2002, being also responsible for the exportations increase of the Paper industry only in the first sub-period. In the second sub-period, competitiveness was not enough to accomplish an increase of the Paper industry, what shows a fragility of policies for the opening of new markets and dissemination of products of the State of Paraná in foreign markets.
