Eucalyptus

Brazilian agribusiness is imposing itself before the world in the production of food and raw materials, from the crops and the breeding of animals. But perhaps no sector today is as strategic in terms of environmental composition and profitability as that of planted eucalyptus forests. In the scenario of forest plantations for commercial purposes, Brazil shows to be a privileged environment. The results achieved with eucalyptus impress all investors, being the species that presents the best cost-benefit ratio in terms of growth time for commercial use and the extent of use. Thats why this species is an extraordinary wild card, providing everything from cellulose and paper, charcoal, wood to various industries, including furniture, and power generation.

Unlike other activities, forestry is self-sustaining, that is, annual gains from the evolution of genetic materials, Agro-cultural treatments and environmental protection areas guarantee successive harvests with increase in productivity up to or over 50m³ / ha / year and sustainability throughout the other forest cycles. Brazil has the most modern technologies for forests plantation, with emphasis on planting and managing of eucalyptus.

Brazil has a total land area of 851 million hectares of which 30% has been destined for commercial forestry production. This market has a lot of room to grow since at present only 1% of this total land area is currently under commercial use. Brazil is a country that has many factors that are favorable to forestry, such as fertile soils and climate conditions suitable for the cultivation of several species of Eucalyptus of commercial value. Complementing these conditions, there is also continuous emphasis from both governmental and private sector efforts in the development of state-of-the-art technology with proven results. Lastly, there are very few countries that have the land area availability and necessary manpower for this type of extensive development.

Minas Gerais State

In the list of major producers, Minas Gerais ranks first among all Brazilian states, with over 25%, followed by São Paulo with 17.6%, and Mato Grosso do Sul, with 14.5%. The leadership in the forestry segment is basically due to the existence of a large metallurgical park, made up of pig iron, steel, ferroalloy and, more recently, the pulp, wood fiber and pencil industries. Here, the forest-based sector plays a major role in our economy.
