SUMMARY:

The cocoa region of Bahia for over 250 years has been improving in the Cocoa Cabruca
Agroecosystem (ACC), bringing with it a strong cultural expression and influence on regional
economic development. Considering the relevance of cabruca for the region and its importance
for the maintenance of forest remnants in the Atlantic forest, it is proposed as a general objective:
To present a process for valuing existing tree species in the ACC and compare with other methods
for valuation of tree species, aiming to contribute to the debate about the conservation of the
remnants of the Atlantic Forest. It aims to highlight the importance of establishing a fair land
pricing method for the construction of a basis for future new forms of rural credit. The study also
intends to discuss the contribution of cultivation methods for the conservation of remnants of the
Atlantic Forest, presenting the main tree species contained in the region, in addition to showing
the economic sustainability of the cabruca cocoa system, through productive conservation in
rural establishments, mainly from family farming. The methodology used was: bibliographic
research; survey of cocoa farming data in the cocoa micro-region of Bahia; survey of the main
tree species found in the cocoa cabruca agroecosystem; forest inventory methods; and methods
for the valuation of tree species in the cocoa cabruca agroecosystem identified and systematized.
In addition to the contribution in the environmental and social aspects, this study intends to
point to a perspective of greater interest in the maintenance of the cabruca areas, envisioning
the future use of tree heritage in a perspective to increase the economic ballast of small rural
establishments, opening the perspectives far beyond shading the cocoa tree. Of the 03 (three)
methods for calculating the Value of the Tree Species Value (VEA) analyzed, the Valuation of
Tree Species for General Use (VEAUG) can be considered one of the most suitable for the cocoa
region in southern Bahia. This observation is due to its conservationist nature and better adapted
to the objectives studied.
