Resumo:
The mining sector in the state of Paraíba is in need of major projects, in view of the lack of private investment or detailed geological knowledge. Ornamental rocks have the potential to expand the participation of mining in the state's economic scenario, generating employment, income and return to society, mainly through exports, due to its privileged geographical positioning. The objective of the present work is to evaluate this potential of the ornamental rocks sector, taking into account the factors that involve the entire production chain and seeking to understand how some bureaucratic and logistical devices work to carry out the export activity. This is possible due to the information collected from public agencies and private companies operating in the sector, which shows us in this scenario that despite some unfavorable conditions, the export of ornamental stones has a high potential, and with room for growth.
