With its favorable climate, land well-suited for forest production and cutting-edge agro-industrial technology, Brazil has ideal conditions to lead a green economy based on sustainable solutions. Trees planted for both industrial production and ecological restoration occupy less than 2% of the country’s territory but have already become one of the pillars of the global bioeconomy, a business model that combines innovation, intelligent land use and care for people and the environment.
With responsible management, planted trees have become a strategic vector for sustainable development and are gaining even more relevance as a concrete alternative in the face of climate challenges and growing demand for products from renewable origins.

Mainly eucalyptus and pine are grown in Brazil, along with several native species. These plantations provide renewable raw materials to produce various items that are present in our everyday lives like paper, furniture, packaging, laminate flooring, fabrics, medications and even bioenergy. Grown in a planned and responsible manner, these trees help reduce pressure on native forests by supplying demand for wood. They also generate important social and environmental benefits such as recovery of degraded areas, carbon sequestration and economic development in regions with lower levels of industrialization.

In Brazil trees are also grown in order to restore degraded areas, remediate ecosystems and reestablish native vegetation. These plantations use Brazilian species adapted to each biome, respecting local characteristics and promoting biodiversity. Ecological restoration plays a crucial role in combating climate change through carbon sequestration while also contributing to soil protection, water conservation and the formation of ecological corridors. Like plantations of trees grown for industrial purposes, cultivation of native species is also in line with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
