Araucaria spp. is a species that can be used to produce wood and pine nuts. Vegetationpropagation techniques to produce Araucaria seedlings via grafting and cuttings/mini-cuttingsand establish orchards to produce wood and pine nuts have been developed and are alreadyunderway at Embrapa Florestas. These techniques are being assessed at a research scale andprotocols need to be tested in rural properties and companies for validation and technologytransfer, as well as to develop and assess improved

Thanks to initiatives by EmbrapaFlorestas in past decades (principally the
